Kingfisher.....

[Barr1e]

.....well almost.

It is a rare occasion when I don't have my dslr with me and today was one those. At least I was carrying a camera - my Fuji F100fd, which I think has done well.

This bird had found the right spot along the canalside - just dropping in to pluck several small fishes for a late lunch.

Talking of lunch leads me to the reason for not carrying the big bag today - the same for Anne is that we had treated ourselves to a wet lunch at the pub quite some distance from home.

Re: Kingfisher.....

Well done Barrie - In all my years I only think ive seen a kingfisher - just a flash of blue over the water and ' was that a kingfisher ?' You did well to capture it whatever the camera.

Re: Kingfisher.....

You still captured a twinkle in its eye whatever the camera. I would love to add one of these to my collection but alas I haven't even seen one let alone photographed one.

Re: Kingfisher.....

Great capture, Barrie - just seeing one of these birds must have been a thrill. Now you know where it is you can return later with the serious equipment

Re: Kingfisher.....

Brilliant! They move so quickly, and they're so hard to find. Congrats on having captured one on camera.

Re: Kingfisher.....

Thanks all for your kind comments.

We were on a different part of the canal today and saw little to capture - but at least the exercise might have helped lose a little from our tummies.

Re: Kingfisher.....

Great shot - I would love to see a kingfisher let alone take a photo.
