This photograph was taken in Warnham, West Sussex, after a long and patient wait beside a familiar perch. For nearly three hours, nothing happened. The branch remained empty, the background still, and the quiet stretched on. Then, without warning, the kingfisher arrived.
It landed cleanly on the branch, perfectly positioned, its colours catching the light just long enough for a handful of frames before it disappeared again. Less than a minute later, it was gone, and it didn’t return.
The simplicity of the scene is what defines this image. The gentle curve of the branch leads the eye naturally to the bird, while the soft, featureless background removes all distraction. There’s no sense of urgency or action here—just a brief moment of shared presence, where everything aligned and then quietly moved on.
Kingfishers are famously elusive, and encounters like this are never guaranteed. This image captures not just the bird itself, but the patience, stillness, and quiet anticipation that often precede such fleeting wildlife moments.
This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.
