    Kingfisher

    First visit to Rye Meads last week and spent a few hours in the kingfisher hide as the parents brought food back and forth to the burrow (assumed they have fledged now), shame the closest perches were being visited after leaving and not with fish on the way in

    Common Kingfisher

    Probably one of the best openings of a year: this Kingfisher just around the corner of my house! The bird stayed for several days, giving me the opportunity to photograph it in the last light of day, hence the full colors. Hope you like it! Luc

  4. Another Kingfisher....

    Another Kingfisher....

    Well it's actually the same kingfisher but still another picture of it. It took me quite some effort to "create" and find my own kingfisher spot. But now I've found one I will probably bore you guys to dead with lot's of pictures from this beautiful bird... Greetings, Jeroen

    Not sure what bug this KF just retrieved from the pond but it seems that its being relieved of any excess fluid. Hard work today with the sun in the wrong place for the time I was in the hide

    Really low light into a setting sun at nearly 3000mm. Everything against me but still pretty happy with the result.

    Kingfisher

    I spent about 3 hours shooting this female and its male companion. It was very nice, but I was hidden and with the feet inside water. Although with rubber boots, my feet were purple from the cold when I got home.
