Default Kingfishers from yesterday

Family and I were driving yesterday, I stopped on a local bridge as I seen a Kingfisher fly under it .It surprised me by coming up the same side and landing on the bridge rail, not wanting to take a chance and scare it while changing settings, I fired as is. The second one it was hovering looking for food.

Great shots, Trevor. They are a super fast bird and not easy to photograph. Well done.

Good job taking the opportunity and capitalizing on it. Nice close up on the bridge and the BIF is sweet.

Looks like you had the right settings programmed in, Trevor. These are both excellent images. Well done.

What did the family say when you abandoned them!
