Mid-course Correction...Kingfisher

[Louis Champan]

Hard to believe how fast these little guys can change direction, a real challenge to follow them in the viewfinder. I searched out a good place to locate myself and just settled in for an hour or so shooting the action hoping for the best.

I have tried to shoot these little buggers, they are too fast for me, especially at 850mm. My shots usually had a part of the foot in the frame.
Terrific shot.

Great shot with a nice eye and background. Kingfishers hate us so this had to have been hard to get. Great colors on the little guy too.
