Thanks for commenting Bill. They're not that difficult with the approach I outline below. I've had them land 5 feet from me on several occasions and other birds will often land on my head when I'm beneath the camO drape. It still requires persistence and patience but the rewards are nice.

Check out my gallery here at POTN if you'd like to see more Kingfisher shots.
