I had heard of a place about 15 miles away where this kingfisher has been spotted. I packed up my camera bag and headed off to South Park in Darlington. After a thorough walk backwards and forwards and getting my 10,000 steps towards my Vitality life insurance rewards (winner), a finally saw a flash of blue over the river. There it was, landed on a branch. By the time I had whacked on my 300mm prime and steadied myself, I managed a couple of shots on Auto before it flew off. Spritely little thing. Anyway, with a heavy crop, this is what turned out. Not the best I know but its the first time I've seen a kingfisher and I was amazed how bright and colourful they are. I also got a couple of nice shots of squirrels. Opinions welcome.
