Super captures, Nelson. The exposure is spot-on with all of these. My fave is #2 for the sharply-focused "stretch".
Best Wishes,
Steve

The stretch is so cute! I'd clone out the branch in that one as it appears you've done in the first? Such beautiful birds!

great stuff! kingfishers are very reclusive where i live and it's difficult to even capture one, much less get a shot you can be proud of. congratulations.

Those are great. I've tried catching a Kingfisher like that but they spook very easily and I have never gotton that close. Great job!!!

Great shots, also my favourite is #2, the stretch/leap is perfectly sharp, exposed and composed. I am with Johnny Bravo, coming to where you shoot birds!
