It was extrememly lucky to find this loving lady Kingfisher preferring to dive for her supper near her "home" (big fish pond in Mai Po, Hong) almost within the same hour (3-4p.m)Where, perfect direct sun was always pointing to any objects of interest that always gives lots of camera speed and low ISO quality shots.
