First Kingfisher shot

This is the first time I have ever seen a Kingfisher in the flesh, so I was quite pleased when she came along, dove into the water and came back and posed for me with a fish in her mouth. Shot taken using a 100-400L with 1.4tc attached and the settings were 560mm f8, 1/320, ISO320.

Very nice shot, for the first shot of the kingfisher, this is really a good one !
I like the colors.

Congrats,
Laurent.

A wall hanger Kevin. Beautiful shot.

Lovely shot Kev, another bird I havn't seen for years.

Thanks, Laurent, Mitch and Adi. I will definitly be getting myself a print of this shot

Great capture and BIG congrats on your first Kevin.

Thanks Reyno

I really like this, Kev.

Thanks Kieth, much appreciated

This is a spectacular shot Kev!

I'm trying to figure out if you are really lucky, or i am really un-lucky!?! There's a Kingfisher at my local reserve, i've seen him 4 times in the last month, but never pirched.... Not even a long enough view to get my camera to my eye!

great shot, iv yet to get one up to this standared.

Great shot! Are your Kingfishers as elusive as ours here in the US? I have an ongoing "battle" with a local pair who keep giving me the slip day after day. You should be proud of that capture...

Great indeed, so sharp and the colors are cool too!

Fantastic shot, very sharp, colorful and the raindrops add a lot to the shot as well.

Excellent shot and the rain adds to it.
