p.1 #1 · Dutch Kingfisher part 3 (final)

Final post of this KF series. I was glad I could capture some front views but personally prefer his amazing feather and back colors.
All shot from a bird hide with Nikon D7000 + 300 f4 + 1.4 TC wide open.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

It was a great opportunity and needless to say I went home that day with a big smile on my face.

A Grand Finale, Chris. I love it that when these birds show up here, they seem to get as much reaction as the Eagles. I bet you are very pleased to be given the opportunity to make these fine photographs.

I also have loved the series, Chris.
And I agree that the colors from the back side are truly magnificent!
Good work on all of these.

Fabulous set Chris, too bad this is the end of your series

I was enjoying the wider crops but then the tight ones stole the show for me. For my eye 5&7 are wall hangers
