Tripod, in a hide, Canon 50D Canon 500mm f4 L IS Manual mode, ISO 160 -1.33, 1/500 sec f8
This is one from way back in 2012, really struggling for light and subject matter at the moment. Shame there wasn't a bit more elbow room on the RHS.
Great capture of a lovely bird. If the capture allows, I might leave a bit more room in the frame for the subject, particularly on the right. (but now re-reading your text I see the as captured the options might be limited). I also think the exposure could be lightened a bit as well.

Reason: reconsidered
A lovely lady Jon, obviously the framing isn't ideal, but the details are great. I find it difficult to comment on the colours of kingys as they change with the light throughout the day,
A great find in the archive, Jon. Looks very good for the old 50D too but you had a good lens on. Agree on a bit more room but the rest looks excellent to my eye. Perfect background, colours look very nice and excellent detail.
