Nico, These kingfishers are fast! I like the flight pose, I do wish it were angled a bit more towards us. I think you framed it well.

Flight shots are among my favorites and the meal with this Kingfisher puts it over the top -- good catch on a bird that is very camera wary

Good looking lady Nico, and I like the flying posture. Sharp, and good to see she caught a nibble.

I know for sure how it's difficult to make that one.
Fascinating image.

This is outstanding! I love the bird, pose, and prey, but the sweet light is what really puts it over the top. Well done.

Top shot Nico. Great light and detail.


I know for sure how it's difficult to make that one. With a 450 even more difficult. Well done here!!
