Mission Accomplished: Blue-Banded

15th May 2010, Kemensah, Selangor.

Last week he didn’t give me enough time to get ready and there was no second chance. This time  I was ready and waiting, thumb on the trigger button.

Didn’t have to wait very long (about 5 minutes)  before he appeared on his regular perch, the overflow pipe.

To see a Blue-Banded Kingfisher  so close to  Kuala Lumpur  is just amazing. One big blue ribbon for Kemensah.
