I've had this week as holiday from work, I've woken up earlier and been out earlier than ever!

These are from a local RSPB reserve that I've recently discovered.

Great shots, in the rain no less!
I like the action of the Kingfisher finishing off the fish, is it possible to try a different crop to emphasize the bird more?

Thanks, yeah the weather was bad yesterday morning! I'm not entirely sure but the first pic looks as though I inadvertently captured a raindrop hitting the tip of the beak!.....could just be my eyes.

The close up shots are all pretty heavy crops, I will have a look to see if I can crop the "finishing2 shot a bit tighter.
