Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)

I made a real cock up doing Kingfishers. I did not bring my reading glasses to look at live view. Using the view finder to manually focus I ended up slightly front focusing a lot of the time.

Met Paul Hackett ..hope you had a safe journey back home Paul

Sorry Ove...I meant Paul Hackett...I'm useless with names! Mike Hallett is a snooker player (a good one too) and commentator and used to be a friend of mine many years ago.

A beautiful gem, a jewel in your lens, you captured so beautifully...i'll will dream of this sweetly tonight.
It echo's in the mind and sends a shiver down my spine. Pure Dancy brilliance:clap:

I don't know what you're thinking but you did a damn fine job capturing this beautiful Kingfisher Adrian. Love the backdrop too.
