Very close encounter with this guy! I was returning to the car after taking the Kingfisher shots so still had the Camo gear on, he walked out in front of me. I stood as still as I could and he got to within 6-8 feet of me and still didnt see me! I couldnt believe it. He got so close that even with the EOS 1DSMkii and the 70-200 f2.8IS lens fitted he was to close to shoot as I had the lens set to focus no closer than 2.4mtr's :) Anyway hope you like it as the encounter made my day.

A marvellous capture. It's not often you get anything like a close encounter with these birds.
