Scientific name
Alcedo cristata
Equipment used
Olympus E-520 Sigma Bigma
Blimey, I thought you meant a number 5 bus!!! Top shot Col, nice one.
 
Great shot of a beautiful colourful bird, I love it, Well done, Colin.

To shoot at 1000mm equiv. what combo of lens and adapter did you use?
I'm curious as my E-520 with the kuiko 70-300, and 1.4 adapter only
gives me 820 focal length equiv.

Best regards

Gus
