It's special for Doug just because we went out early morning and we saw few little KingFishr flying around us and not for one time came and rest on the branch near to us. Well...maybe next time.

This one from my archive.
Canon Mark II 600mm F5 1/160 ISO400 blind WH.
The BG is a green bush very far from the bird.
Thank you for looking.

It was a pleasure meeting you Haim! Even though we didn't get any Kingfishers, I still had a great time. Beautiful image by the way!

The look/eye contact on the speared baitfish really takes this over the top for me, killer BG too.

Thank you.
It's in Israel not far way from my home. I took Doug Brown there without any success to shoot KingFisheres.

Nice image Haim! The eye contact of both the kingfisher as well as the fish is nice.

Cheers,

Lovely image Haim! The fish looks like a cichlid! Do you know the species?

Awesome catch Haim, both you and the KF. Love the level of detail, the bill spearing right through the body of th fish. Man, this is really good. :)
