Kingfisher Malachite (Corythornis cristatus) – Cape West South Africa

Seldom does one be in the right position with perfect light and the bird posing perfectly.  The opportunity lasted for 5 seconds.  I doubt I will be able to better this high resolution classic picture and so it ranks as one of the top photos in the collection.
