Kingfisher on River Ver, St Albans, Hertfordshire, November 2020
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Such a pretty color blue on the kingfisher bird.
I’ve seen this challenge for quite some time. I decided to give it a whirl.
Hope you enjoy … Isadora 😎

There was a big hint – a huge crows had gathered at the edge of the river so I knew there must be a kingfisher hiding 🙂

Always nice to spy a Kingfisher. I used to hear them more than see them in southern Cheshire. Here’s my Six Word contribution for Saturday:

Ah, you caught the Kingfisher! We have them here nearby, but I have never managed to get one single photo…the are so very fast – did you use glue ; -D? When my daughter lived in New Zealand she found a natural bathing pool in the forest where they had a nest just by the water. She could sit in the warm water just watching them fly in and out of that river bank. I loved her stories about them.

Oh wow, and you got it twice, though the second one is upside down. 😉 Great capture, Debbie. They are so pretty, these birds. I have never spotted one, though they live in the Netherlands as well. We call them ‘ijsvogels’, so ‘ice birds’. I have no idea why.
Have a good weekend, everyone!

Thanks Elke. This was quite a lot about a good camera, I have to admit. This is a very very very tight crop.

Marvellous! And with the reflection, two for the price of one! Here’s my seasonal take: https://suejudd.com/2020/11/14/many-of-the-leaves-have-fallen/

I often spit them on that dude if the river. Though they are usually flitting around. This one seemed quite content to watch the crowd.

P.S Not expecting to be there- sorry!- we have an outdoor concert at lunchtime. The last possible before we are locked down on weekend afternoons- a bit bizarre! But it’s raining so it could be called off! 😦

It’s raining here too! A wet weekend, in fact. I hope your concert happens, Jo, but do join if you’re rained off. (And we arranged the lockdown timing so you’d be able to talk to us 😀😀😀)

Kingfisher’s are often mentioned on the nature show I enjoy called “Autumnwatch!” It is a real beautiful sight 🙂
Also I had fun writing my post for this challenge – I used six word sentences and in the title.

Lovely! They are not easy to catch. I am always amazed that they are so hard to spot when they are sitting on a branch despite their colourful feathers.
