That is how I felt seeing these spectacular kingfishers (I haven't come close to processing all the birds...more kingfishers to process so at least one more set of thsoe)....it seems even cooler when you can say you saw them on the Nile River....there's just something in the name that conjures up images of African explorers of long ago...more on that in another post.

#2, the pied KF while being very common, you certainly have a great BG which makes this an excellent shot. My favourite is the malachite! To get that much "bird" I know you had to be very close; so I really envy this shot.
Seems like this was a real departure trip for you with more feathers than fur!
Happy Easter; if you celebrate that sort of thing!

amazing variety, Eric. I actually saw a pied KF in India in 2013 so I guess their range is really very vast. as is yours in photography
From now on you are the pied eyelaser....

Ohh Man! I love those birds! Are they as tough to get close to as the N American variety

Great images.. though I must admit ..I looked over each one carefully several times to see if there was a leopard hiding in the background!

Thanks for your great posts

The first two are uber sharp, you must have been close. Did they fly up to you or did you approach them. The last one is special too, downing a fish with another species next to him, I mean when does that happen. Happy Passover/Easter weekend everyone.

Thanks so much Don...yes the feathers took up much more of my shooting time than expected but the variety of unique looking birds made this something I couldn't pass up....a good captain was able to drift us right into mfd for the first...I wouldn't have believed it possible.
