Perched

Yes it's a rubbish photograph, taken at full zoom with point and shoot, rescued to best of my ability on Affinity and then with Snapseed. But who cares, it's the kingfisher!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Watched it on and off hunting for about 5 minutes
Well done. Been there, seen it, done it so to speak when trying to capture a bird and failing miserably. I would be happy with any shot I got of a kingfisher as I have never seen one.

I am so incredibly excited for you! Terrific shot
October 23rd, 2023  
Yeah how fabulous to have captured it.

@wakelys really needs your 600mm lens!
@grammyn I took a friend who needed cheering up, and this worked well
@kametty seeing is better than getting in camera ( almost)

Not the easiest of birds to photograph so cool

@30pics4jackiesdiamond a mutual friend?
October 23rd, 2023  
@grammyn not anyone you know x
October 23rd, 2023  
Well caught!! Worth the faffing
October 23rd, 2023  
I often have photos like this - it's such a feeling to see that sparkling flash when one appears
October 23rd, 2023  
Nice
October 23rd, 2023  
Shame but at least you got a shot Jackie:)
October 23rd, 2023  
Yes, yay! You caught a photo of these fast, fast little birds! Whenever I am able to capture one, I call it a big victory.
October 23rd, 2023  
A kingfisher is a kingfisher & any photo is an achievement!
As I apparently faved this & then didn’t, I shall fav it again 😂
October 23rd, 2023  
Excellent! They're usually just a 100mph streak!
October 23rd, 2023  
One day you'll get the perfect photo.
October 23rd, 2023  
Absolutely, who cares. It is so nice to see and capture an image of this elusive bird.
October 24th, 2023  
Yeah, sometimes you have to take the shot even when you know the camera will be letting you down- it's just too good of an opportunity to pass by. Good catch!
October 24th, 2023  
So exciting!
October 24th, 2023  
Always excited to see one, but they are tough to capture. Saw one recently and got about 20 mediocre shots but enjoyed watching it anyway!
October 24th, 2023  
How exciting. Such a beautiful bird.
October 24th, 2023  
@tiaj1402 they are
@amyk sometimes put camera down to watch is best

@ljmanning it was!
@olivetreeann it was driving so hope it caught something

@shutterbug49 processing has over highlighted it a bit
@randystreat yeah, possibly

@anniesue this one has favourite perches
@carole_sandford thank you thank you!!

@theredcamera seeing it is victory
@pcoulson one day it will pose a foot away from me

@joansmor thanks
@koalagardens even better if you see two!!?

@Dawn theyre gorgeous little vicious birds
October 24th, 2023  
It is the kingfisher and as you say who cares if it's a little blurry. It's THERE!
October 24th, 2023  
sweet bird
October 24th, 2023  
Well captured
October 24th, 2023  
Lucky you - just to have seen one!
October 25th, 2023  
It may be blurred, but you still got a shot!
