I posted my "best Kingfisher" a few days ago... After that, I got to thinking maybe I should have a 2X extender to go on the 400 DO for Kingfishers and Kestrels, so I ordered one ( used).

Today, I went back by where I saw the Kingfisher the other day and he was back - so this shot is with the 2X III on the 400 DO - maybe better than with the 1.4X ? (less cropping) - A little better light here so the ISO is about the same.....I think this is a juvie male.

Thanks to ALL for stopping by and commenting and Merry Christmas ! .....Larry
