A downpour just as I was about to leave for work gave me a couple of hours with the camera until it dried out!
As I approached the perch the female Kingfisher was on it and 2 Chiffchaffs on the other stick. Things were looking good!
2 hours later and she only came in for about a minute!
I moved up to another spot where she fishes and perches more often though a tiny bit too far too photograph without using a converter. After 15 mins she came in and shot off very quick.
There are now 2 birds using this area as they were chasing each other back and fore but not stopping
In the coming days i`ll set up a hide and place a perch or two closer. This I feel is the answer to some good shots, but only when there is no wind and good light!
Superb shots Steve, great light.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Paul, the light is perfect!
I had a male on my lake until last season... He killed himself in the plant nursery down the hill and he hasn't been yet replaced by another one.
Quite sad!
Cheers!
