Она поощрительно раскрыла клюв, а кавалер почтительно презентовал свою добычу.
She approvingly opened her beak, and the gentleman respectfully presented his catch.

Подарок принят. Гордый зимородок забавно уселся столбом на ветку пока его дама сердца разбиралась с рыбкой.
Место труднодоступное и фон получился неидеальный, еще и довольно темно, но на ярких птичек как раз упали первые лучи солнца, что и позволило снять эти кадры.
The gift was accepted. The proud kingfisher perched on a branch while his lady dealt with the fish. The location was hard to reach and the background wasn't ideal, and it was quite dark, but the bright birds were just catching the first rays of sunlight, allowing me to capture these shots.

Разбираю фото из поездки в Дагестан. Чудеса в Самурском лесу начались первый же день. Реликтовый лес, опутанный какими-то просто первобытными лианами, сразу производит такое впечатление, будто ты попал в сказку. А тут ещё на одном из деревьев нежданно-негадано одна из спутниц обнаружила welcome gift: на дереве в чаще леса сидел енот! Еноты давно были интродуцированы в Дагестан и прижились здесь в дикой природе. Они ночные животные, хотя на их родине, в Штатах, я видела енотов и днем, но это были городские жители, уже привыкшие к человеку, а не дикие лесные обитатели. Енот посмотрел на нас какое-то время, затем ловко вскарабкался по стволу и скрылся в густой листве.
The wonders in the Samur Forest began on the very first day. The relic forest, entwined with what seem like primeval vines, immediately gives the impression that you have stepped into a fairy tale. And then, unexpectedly, one of my companions discovered a welcome gift: a raccoon was sitting on a tree in the forest thicket! Raccoons were introduced to Dagestan a long time ago and have adapted to the wild here. They are nocturnal animals, although in their homeland, the States, I have seen raccoons during the day, but those were city dwellers already accustomed to humans, not wild forest inhabitants. The raccoon looked at us for a while, then skillfully climbed up the trunk and disappeared into the dense foliage
