The 3 big photos of her are almost zero crop, she was that close with my 200-500 Nikon. Amazing bird and so beautiful, I'll never tire of seeing her. Hope you like the last shot, I don't usually photoshop, but thought the burst of colour against the B&W background looked quite nice. Shame about the foliage in the foreground out of focus, my PS skills aren't that good to remove them lol.

Thanks Christoph. To see them everyday would be amazing! Next wish to get some flying/diving shots. Unfortunately the lake we were at was frozen so she couldn't dive for food.
 
Excellent close ups! And such a difficult small shy bird to get close to! I once spent a few weeks devoting most of my spare time to trying to get some good shots of a local pair of kingfishers, but all I managed to get was a good education in how difficult that is! Plus some rude remarks about the image quality of my general purpose just-in-case 18-250mm lens. I did in fact turn up a few times with my best long lens, tripod, etc. but those times never coincided with the appearance of the kingfishers :-(
