Thank you Swamp-Cork. I found a good spot to stand by some bushes next
to some tree's by a pond with open calm clear water. This is where I had
observed the kingfisher hunting from and got these shots.

First met this female kingfisher 4 day ago, and been back everyday for
new shots. Today was the day.

Someone always wants to know settings so here they are.

D500 - 300mm PF+1.4 III
S/S - 1/4000
F/5.6 - wide open
Auto ISO - 100/ 800 (most shots camera took at 640 to 800)


Great action shots...I like the diving head first shot about to hit the water.

Thank you M.T., quite a amazing bird, She went to the bottom where it was 2-3' deep
and came up with a crayfish. She went to her eating log and would rub the crayfish
against the log breaking off its pinchers then ate the body.
