My first Kingfisher

[Jenny1611]

Well this has taken me a longgggg time to getthis image, and ok I know it isnt the best in the world... but hey!!! I GOT IT!!

Time now to hope that he comes closer- or I can afford a longer lens!

Nikon D5000 with a 55-300mm

Very nice picture, can I ask the location?

 

[Jenny1611]

It was taken at Mere Sands Woods- Rufford. He is still about, best chance to see it is round 830am or 230pm most days. I saw him Thur last but he didnt land, just flew past! lol

Thanks for the info Jenny

At least you have got one, more than me.
Wish you luck in getting a closer capture.

Nice Jenny..
I went out for them this morning, and came back with bittern..

 

[Wozzaaah]

Quality-wise it's not too good as you know but really well done for capturing it!
Beautiful birds, I long for the day when I get my first one.

Congrats Jenny, nothing like getting your first shot in of the KF. Their fishing territory can be anything up to 5 miles in either direction which does not make life easy
