My first ever Kingfisher!

[TCR4x4]

Was absolutely hooning it down and my camera started doing weird things, but it was entirely worth it.

I knew one was about, but wasn't sure where exactly. I did a reccy a few days ago and saw it whizz past, so I went back today and spent about 45 minutes sat in a muddy puddle, behind a fallen tree on the other side of the lake.

Sony A9, Sony 200-600mm in crop mode plus cropped and enlarged with Topaz Gigapixel

Always a great feeling to get a first, Tom.
- nice shots, with the second being my favourite with the catch of the day!

Thanks! Felt kinda sorry for the fish. Got well and truly battered against the log!

I remember my first, what a feeling.

Well done.

Well done on your first - and a bonus Minnow!
