.........being eaten by Kingfisher

Hi All,

Another in my series from the recent Kingfisher shoot. Still editing them for the website. I noticed on my patch last night a pair of Stoats, so will be looking into getting them over the coming weeks.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

lol thats being a bit desparate when theres no fish to catch

Great shot Rob

Oh and how's the nights ?.Thats what i'm doing at the mo until crimbo, so not much time for photography in the day, cuz i'm asleep most of the time.Is that the same for you ?.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your comment. I hate nights it really messes up my body clock, plus the fact we go up there Sunday afternoons to get a full week in, so really only have one day for the weekend, I don't sleep very well during the day so I am constantly tired, anyway I finish for xmas on the 30th of Nov and don't go back until the new year, so counting down the days!

Regards

Rob

Heres a good tip for sleeping in the day

Get yourself a travel eye mask, its really works for me .I go to bed about 7:00am, then usualy wake around 10:30, put the eye mask on(cuz of the light coming through the curtains), then i dont wake until about 2:30-3:00.Usualy get a good 7 - 8 hours sleep

Before when i was not using the eye mask i was only getting about 4 hours sleep, and i used to feel really bad when on the nights .

Anyway sorry to take this off the main subject of your shot .

Hi Rob,very nice sharp image,haven't seen any kingfishers since spring,I did 15 years permanent night I know the feeling

He'll need a lot of those to fill him up

Tack sharp, great colours, super comp with a nice diagonal line in the perch that mirrored in the bird - cracking job Rob

Hi Rob
