I have been Jonesin for a Kingfisher BIF pic for a long time.
They are so skittish and fast.
Last trip out on the boat we tried 4 birds going up the river, none would let me close enough for a good image.
Then the same 4 going back down the river.
Going down worked better. I scored a few ok sitting images and this male decided to take to the air ar us.
Not quite so perfect as the new Auto Eye focus would do but its a keeper.

They are tuff to get close to. I think a camo hide is needed most times.
