That's the behaviour that many I know have wanted to capture.

Well well well worth that time in the hide

This is just outstanding, I much prefer this shot to the other one.. The other one was simply superb and this just has me in awe and indeed very enviable of you.. Very well seen and taken, superb field craft and worth every effort.

I posted a reply to the first of these saying I didn't think it could be bettered and guess what... you have bettered it. Absolutely beautiful pose superbly complimented by the perch. A fantastic image.

Will you pack it in - haven't you got something that needs sewing or something :razz: :razz: :wink: :wink:

Another excellent image from another super KF series - last years take some beating but so far these are managing the job hands-down :toast: :toast: :toast:

I don't suppose you have any of them leaping through a burning hoop by any chance?
I am still trying to get one sitting still, so all I can offer is envy. I've run out of superlatives.

Amazing series of Kingfishers, Jeroen. Probably the best I have seen so far. I think this might just make its way onto a magazine cover... :toast: :toast: :toast:
