OK, Malla1962 and Dewmuw have posted their shots of this kingfisher, so here are my attempts. These were taken at the POTN meet at Martin Mere reserve. Unfortunately the water, that the kingfisher was fishing in, is quite close to the hide but not quite close enough. Even at 400mm the bird is a very small part of the image area, so huge crops were necessary. These images (apart from one) are all essentially 100% crops from the originals.
C&C is very welcome, thanks.

This is the one that I could have made him a bit bigger in, but I preferred the composition as the blob to the lower right is the marsh harrier that I was shooting, when the kingfisher flew into shot, so I refocused and shot him instead. He's actually hovering there by the way and not just flying past.
