tried photographing this kingfisher last year with no luck. decided to revisit today and managed to get these four shots. happy enough with them but plan on going back to see if i can do better. c&c welcome.
p.s taken with a d300 and a 70-300mm nikon lens
Really like the first one, maybe go back and replace the trolly with a nice branch and try again.

I’d be in agreement with seaview. The first is lovely except for the trolley. Well done for even getting close to these guys.
thanks for the feedback. i was thinking that myself about the trolley so i placed a few perchs before i left to allow it get accustomed with them. hopefully get a chance to go down tomorow.
#1 is lovely (although I might crop away some of the excess on the right hand side).
Not an easy bird to get so close to… well done.
Gorgeous……….they are such beautiful birds I dont think even a trolley can
take away from them. Where in the country was this taken? They seem to
be increasing in numbers at last!they were taken on dollymount strand in dublin i think theres only one in the area and it seem to only be around in the winter as i didnt see it at all during the summer. could be i just didnt see it though.
They do head nearer the coast for the winter, so it is possible that it doesnt
frequent the area in the summertime…….though how they can tell the difference
in this country is beyond me :)
