Very nice shots. I really like the first one. The lighting is beautiful, and you can see the texture of the clouds in the sky in the background.

I looked for a kingfisher in a local park some days ago but got only a few shots just before sunset.
R5m2 + RF 200-800 @ 1/4000s, f/9, ISO 51200

Two days later I had more luck and saw him in the morning but only once flying by in a distance.

White-necked Jacobins are large, territorial and aggressive hummingbirds. Their size, plumage and behavior make them easy to recognize. This male was seen while birding at La Florida, Bosque de Las Aves, at km 18, Colombia, November, 2025.

Very nice shots! There are a couple of Belted Kingfishers in my area, but I just can't ever get close enough to them.
