My try with the KingFisher

[bfjr]

Ben, these are great! But I have to say my favorite is the last one. Even though the background fence is kinda ugly, the isolation of the bird is fantastic! I also like the underside of the wing detail. Very nice!

Hi Kevin and thanks
You think the fence is ugly :smile: no problem here's one without fence

I didn't post this one at 1st because the tail not as spread as the one w/fence. Hope you like

Excellent catches Ben. I got some decent KF shots at Viera last weekend, but they were much further out than these.

Well done. :smile:

Getting a flying Kingfisher in focus and exposed correctly is no mean feat - well done!

Thank you Rory

I think this is the first time I have realized that they have this colorful area under their wing. Nicely done Ben.

Hey Gordon
I was told that the extra rusty color donates a female.
