Kingfisher 'female'
My last decent images of Kingfisher were taken on Kodachrome so I was pleased when a good friend invited me over to a site he had been working on.

Canon 1D MkII + 500 iso 400 1/160 at f5.6

Lovely capture, great colours and perch..

I've been working on 2 pairs for the last 3 weeks with some nice results, although the weather hasn't been too kind at times :smile:

Nice work.
