In the past I've lamented my failure to get a half way decent picture of a Kingfisher. When I am in their territory they just mock me! These shots aren't great by any means. They were shot from a car window hand holding the D850 with the 200-500, which is almost more camera than I can heft. This fellow was sitting atop a Mangrove making a lot of noise. I think I can safely say these are my best Kingfisher shots to date!
Nice shots 👌

Those are wonderful prize shots of a female Kingfisher. They are really tough to capture at all.

I don't usually disagree with someone on UHH, but I know how hard it is to get a shot of these guys, and I think these are great photos. A lot better than anything I have got at this stage.

Thank you! I had hoped for better but I have a hard time shooting from the car and I do much better if I have the opportunity to set up my tripod with that heavy rig.
Very nice done !

Great shots of a hard to capture subject. Keep the twigs, clone them out, I don't think that effects the pictures either way

Very nice! Far better than I have ever been able to get - these birds are very skittish!

Well done Carol! She gave you the gift of a photomoment. I'm convinced they are solely in charge of those moments and you were ready and able. I'm happy for you!
