You are so correct -- this species is very skiddish and very difficult to get close to although not impossible. 1DX, 1DIV, 5DIII, A7RII, RX1RII, 14 2.8L II, 35 1.4L, 50 1.2L, 85 1.2L II, 135 2L, 16-35 2.8L II, 24-105 4L IS, 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8L IS II, 300 2.8L, 400 5.6L, IS, 800 5.6L IS

I saw my first kingfisher on the weekend but it had already flown off before I could get a bead on it. I assume you have to sit and wait for them unless they're used to people? I sat by the river for an hour under a blanket hide behind a tree hoping it would return but no show. 5DII - Flickr
