Very much 'work in progress', but managed to get back to the Kingfisher spot in the early part of this month. With temperatures just on or slightly above zero and light often a challenge it was just a matter of sitting it out and waiting, but it's all looking promising for the Summer months and hopefully, more importantly March/April just after the breeding period.
With the variable light, ISO was up & down and the KF constantly on the move it was had to keep on top of settings, although f/7.1 and ISO6400 would not be any hardship.
Perch is a Bullrush growing in the river.
Thanks to those who commented or viewed the last posting.
