I named this bird 'Scruff' for obvious reasons; a local kingfisher who visits my bare silk tree quite often. He (or she) has a very sharp eye and I have seen it swoop down suddenly and pull an earthworm from the ground or snatch a skink from the grass with that fearsome beak and fly back up to it's branch to swallow the meal.
My goal is to present images of objects and places as naturally as possible with minimal post processing. I hope the natural qualities will come through for the viewer with a little contemplation.
