Went back to the Kingfishers again at 05.00 hours this morning and was presented with some great opportunities of them sharing fish.

Groet,

Absolutely perfect Jeroen. I can't see how this could possibly be bettered, superb technique, perch , background and subject.

Yet another top class example. That's quality.

What a great endorsement of the 1D3.

Another amazing image Jeroen! One of the best bird photos I've seen, let alone kingfisher.

Fantastic capture Jeroen. It might be a perch that they are sharing, but it looks remarkably like a ten spined stickleback to me and I haven't seen many shots of one of those either! In fact they are pretty scarce over here.
