kingfisher

( alcedo atthis )

didnt think this came out too bad considering it was taken with a 500mm with a 1.4 tc ,i actually forgot i had the converter on,so a bit of loss on quality, the bird turned its head a fraction and put the bill a little out of focus in this shot,only reeled of a few shots before the bird was off again,it took me six days to eventually capture this river bird,after a lot of stalking and frustration,cant complain too much though as its a wonderful bird to see.

captured on the river clyst near exeter.

( i have been asked,but no props,hides, or set ups ie, fishtanks with minnows in ect were used,)
