What can I say Phil? I would love to have a kingfisher shot like that in my files. An absolute cracker! You've got to be happy with this. Just begs the question... is there any point going back? :toast: :toast: :toast:

Lovely Shot. The only kingfisher I have seen this year was flying into Birmingham Airport and seeing it from plane as we were landing. Unfortunately not really photographable!!

Very nice Phil, a little tight for my taste but that is a personal preference, I guess you will get a lot from this young female....
