    Great shots, by far the best Kingfisher shots on the site so far and not
    an easy bird to spot let alone photograph.

    Thanks Jenny for the high praise there.. tho I have to say it was all down to luck… I was in the right place at the right time …

    God Bless Luck :D

    I will check out the area again now in the coming weeks cos I have never seen him there before and I have been down there a few times looking for otters and other wildlife in the area

    Great captures, Lucky man. I know where there are a couple who are not shy. I have had them land on my shoulder and fishing rod. However the owner of the land has no problem with me fishing on the land, he wont let me on to take shots.

    I was there less than an hour … so i was really lucky… got a cormorant catching an eel earlier and took some shots of him.. and was just waiting around to see if anything else interesting was in the area..

    Little did I know eh :D

    There are otters near there as well so I was looking for him really.. truth be told.. but man this was a pleasant surprise now alright

    Hope this helps

    the second shot is fantastic. the focus is spot on. the fourth is great too, looks like he’s on to you!

    Yeah .. tho the fourth shot was in actual fact the first time I got him in my sights.. he heard the shutter going.. looked over… and then went on to hover and fish .. quite content to leave me alone .. aint bag hides great :D

    He came back again later on and that was the rock shot.. tho it is a little soft … said I would throw it in here anyways ….
