Kingfisher's Catch

This kingfisher was so far away! But had to take the snap. I hadn't even taken my kit out of the bag when it arrived. So quickly and carefully setup and captured a few.

Not the best of images as he was backlit and reeds were blowing in front of him. But work recording.

Grey Heron and its prey

One mighty swoop then a dive to capture this little vole. The Heron proceeded to drown the vole before flying off to swallow it. I captured the whole sequence. These are just a couple of the shots.
