Great shot

Great shots! Fast little guys are hard to capture. Thanx for sharing.

Sometimes you just take what you can get. These worked out well.

Deep crop is my middle name. These are very nice images of a Kingfisher. Even more so from a long poke

I shoot in raw with a 26MP Canon 6D Mk II and the Sigma 150-600C lens for birds. Never seem to have a long enough lens for bird work. Thanks for the nice comments.

Hardest to photograph birds I have ever tried for. Nice job considering.

Nice job on the kingfisher! I too have found them to be the most frustrating bird to shoot.
They are always just a little too far away and keep it that way as they laugh at you!
