Impressive as hell Tony
So in #2 you just cloned out the distracting oof kf?

Thanks, Nello. The oof kf took off after the first shutter click.

Excellent Tony. Love the first with two birds in the same positions. The third with the protection (eyelid) closed in front of the eye. About 5-10% of all my Kingfisher shots are like that

Thanks, Lars. First time I have got two perched together.

Outstanding set Tony,

each shot a beauty - but # 1 takes top honors due to eye contact.

Thanks, Lil.

Amazing - #3 is Fav due to not being the normal 'posed' shot

Thanks, Mort. I ask them for different poses, but they generally ignore me. I am happy with any pose they give me.

All i can say is wow! These are amazing. Number 5 stands out for me. I don't know how you do it - I've yet to get close to a kingfisher.

Jim

Thanks, Jim.
