Thank you very much for the praise!
It was my dream to capture this bird. I looked for him for a long time.

You are most welcome, it was the same with me yesterday. I visited another part of my city, to find to my delight, a good number of "Kingfishes". I stood for hours trying very hard to capture the perfect shot. Unfortunately, I could not get close enough to capture their vibrant colours. So, I will revisit the area in Spring and hopefully be able to succeed. I simply love those birds.

May I ask, if you are using a camouflage when photographing? I do not mean military camouflage, but hunting with real natural patterns. As I argue at my photos, I use English Oak camouflage from Jack Pyke. It helps me very much to the birds get much closer than usual.

No, I don't. Where would I obtain this gear? Thank you for this information, I will look into it.

Hunting camouflage can buy, for example, in Armyshop, or hunting needs, fishing needs ...
I recommend Jack Pyke company comes from England. It is a quality, yet affordable. While the likes of Sweden Swedteam may be much better, but also considerably more expensive.
Jack Pyke offers three types of camouflage - English Oak (mainly in mixed forests or forest edges), then English Woodland (usable in a lot of green in the woods near ponds, etc.), and finally Wild Trees Grassland (reeds, and fields and meadows ).
Sounds like an advertisement, I know, but really it helps me. I use a long-sleeved shirt (for insects and lying down in the grass), then gloves (hand because the animals do not like), and finally a balaclava or mask. When an animal does not see a human face, it takes him much longer , than a scare.
