I'm still on a quest for a good kingfisher in flight,this is by far the best to date.I'm now convinced that to better it will take lots of luck.

Certainly a good capture. Good skills to get this in your viewfinder!!! Surprised you chose to shoot at f8

Perhaps crop a bit more for web? I've yet to get any image of these so ignore me

Did'nt want to crop anymore as this is a fair crop to start with,and f.8 is about optimum with the 100-400,gets a bit soft wide open.
Cheers.

Yeah fair enough Stu. I didn't take enough notice of the lens you were using. Cheers
