For me the 1st shot is absolutely perfect - background, lighting, colors and sharpness.

Those are some of best kingfisher shots I have seen Edward. I can't find a thing that I would change about them. I wish I had taken them!

I set up my blind close to a spot where I knew they often rested to watch for fish to swim past.
Yesterday, I sat for over three hours, and today another three.
