Lovely portrait Tony

Thanks, Lars. Not as colourful as your Kingfishers, but have to take what I am dealt.

Beautiful Tony - -

from a blind? Or how did you get that close

Lil

Thanks, Lil. Car blind. At least sitting on a car seat is comfortable.

Sweet! Superb capture. This is indeed my nemesis bird. Please let us know how you were able to get so close. This does appear to be a juvenile. Really really nice. Congrats!

Thanks, John. Car blind. Good eye, yes it is a juvenile. There is a female and male.

Alright Tony, spill the beans. Is it real? I know it is but can't believe how close you got. Great detail in both the highlights and the darker areas. Well done.

Henrik

Thanks, Henrik. Just like shooting Osprey.

Beautiful portrait Tony but I though you got rid of the 400 5.6 or am I wrong? There is no info in the photo and I was wondering what camera you are now using and if it AF with the TE on it at 5.6. The very best blinds are on rubber tires

Hi Tony,

Your KF is superb!

I'm so glad that you are still posting after some of the responses through that open posting. I have learned so much from viewing your photos and you have always been great help to me.
