When you attempt to capture close-up photos of wildlife with your camera, the checklist of composition and technicalities is unending. But what if wildlife decides to change all the rules?
Photographer DieterMeyrl shot this image on a wildlife photography expedition. This inquisitive Eurasian kingfisher decided to spice things up by flying in and sitting on the camera as if to have a closer look at the human.
This image will surely elicit a wave of funny punchlines for sure, but it’s certainly one of those rare instances when wildlife decides to sit in the human’s chair for a change. Howdy!

I’m having trouble believing that the same bird posed on two different lenses and perched that close to a human. Great prop!
Really nice bit of Photoshop. The kingfisher is a very timid bird and may, possibly, have landed on the camera but the actions of the ‘photographer’ would surely have frightened it off.
