Kingfisher is jewel on the crown

THIS kingfisher brings matters to a head for photographer Alan McFadyen.

It’s the best shot of the day, but he can’t take it. Luckily, a pal was there to capture the moment on the River Tarff in the Scottish Highlands.

Alan, 47, of Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, said: “To have a kingfisher on my head and using it as a fishing spot is unimaginable.”
