Kingfisher & Co


Today I had my first crack at photographing the notoriously elusive Kingfisher. The speed at which they move was astounding, their activity was scarce and their camouflage was surprisingly affective; this made for a very tedious yet rewarding day. I sat in the hide for a total of 6 hours and had 2 sightings, apparently the pair had been far more active earlier that morning ( a lesson learnt there). The shots are of poor quality but I am very happy to of photographed one of the most difficult subjects in natural history photography.
