Shot with a Canon 7D body + Canon 500mm f/4L + Canon 1.4X TC II, on a Gitzo 3541LS carbon fibre tripod with a Benro GH2 gimbal head.
This was shot at 1/40th sec @ f/8, ISO 200. I shot other photos at a higher ISO to get a better shutter speed, but this one is acceptably sharp, I think.
Oriental Dwarf Kingfishers visit my corner of India at the start of the monsoon season, to breed. They make nest holes in the banks of streams in heavy forests. The mud on this guy's beak is from this nest-digging activity.
