The kingfisher shots are impressive. I've been trying for the past week to get a decent flight shot of one of those sneaky little boogers, but have been unsuccessful so far. Just getting close to them is a real challenge.

You must have the patience of Job. Capturing the KF in flight is something that I have tried many many times.

Very nice Kingfishers, hard bird to get close to just for a still shot. Well down

It's hard enough to get Kingfishers in-frame, much less in focus. Nicely caught!

Best Wishes,

You did well on the KF. Were you shooting freehand, Bush Hawk or tripod?

Thanks guys, these images were handheld. I very seldom use the tripod anymore.

The Kingfisher looks very aerodynamic in flight. Great pictures.

Congratulations on the KIF, focus is spot on, beautiful color and detail... excellent work.
Looks like the KF is a little past you in the second image... you gotta be quicker next time.

Just kidding of course...

Great job. Kirk
