Nice shot of the kingfisher; not sure about the perch though.

Great shot, I love the pose and background.

I agree with Phil, there is a bit to much perch.

Kingfisher itself is great but the perch is just a little too large and over powering for me.

It's another fine Kingfisher shot Dale, I'd be well pleased with this.

lovely shot Dale trouble is with these perches sometimes you have no choice the place I go to don t like you messing about at the front of hides anymore so you have to take whats there

This one works well for me. The colours and background in this really are something else. :toast:

It always amazes me that the perches often get so much more C&C than the subjects :smile:
That's a really nice shot Dale.
