    Had a great afternoon yesterday with a pair of kingfishers. This male modelled for me for about half hour within 6 metres. The light could have been better but are we ever happy ??

    Kingfisher with a sizeable fish, which took quite a while to despatch. The light was abysmal, 4,000 Iso, but with some assistance from Topaz it came out reasonably well.

    I often write about my camouflage hides. A short video from today. NO FISH WERE HARMED IN THIS VIDEO! 🤣 A bigger file size is not accepted. The 640x480 video is not enough for a good full frame view. 😟

    Kingfishers, juvenile.

    Earlier5 kingfishers, 4 of which were juveniles sitting on a wall. The parent was further along. First time I have seen so many together; Here they were actually doing something. Shame they weren't closer.
