Kingfisher
Another one of the male kingfisher, I can't resist photographing these beautiful birds.

Canon 1DMK4, Canon 500f4L + 1.4 convertor, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/1600

That's a cracker Karen. Plenty of space for the bird to look into and a nice smooth background. I haven't seen a Kingfisher for a long time, you must have a great spot setup there :toast:

Another very fine KF image Karen, wish I could hold those whites like you do. KF looks great isolated against that smooth BG.

Lovely shot - one of the best :toast: You've been really lucky to get all of the bird in focus at f5.6. Very envious.
