One from yesterday morning, Kingfisher with a Ten-spined Stickleback.

1/320th @ f8 -1/3rd iso800 ( 80% of FF and a bright area under the beak toned down a little )

Please view the large version.

Thanks for the feedback on my Barn Owl image and thanks for looking.

There are a few more shots on my blog for those who may care to take a look.

Great detail in the large, I love a KF image almost as much as Barn Owl, no nits from me looks really really good

Lovely images on your Blog also

Hi Andy

great image here, I am really jealous of you, I cannot find a kingfisher along our river to get onto

Great detail on the stickleback, never mind the bird! Good one, Andy.

Lovely shot of this KF. I might be tempted to tone down the perch just a litttle too but it's a great shot as is with that typical KF prey.
Well done!

greetings,

Classic KF shot Andy with lovely detail on the large version.

Agree re toning down the perch a little, but that's a minor nit.

My local pair raised 3 broods this year - their most successful year so far.
