2016 03 05 Kingfisher Flying

A wonderful morning with Sarah @pixiemac in the kingfisher hide. A long wait before this lovely male showed his face. He was all alone but he was wonderful to watch flying into one of the nests and then sitting on a branch cleaning and preening himself for ages. He finally flew along to a branch and proceeded to dive in and out of the water. Sadly just too far for me to get any good captures. Hopefully Sarah with her longer lens and crop camera will be able to get better captures.

I have added a Nature texture in Topaz to this image as it brought out the detail of his feathers. Best on black if you have time.

I was thrilled to see my robin shot with the worm on the TT this week. Many thanks to you all for getting it there.

So lovely to see this on the PP this morning! Thanks so much for getting it there!
@pixiemac this is the best flight shot I managed to get but it needed a little tweaking in LR and Topaz to bring out the detail. What a lovely morning!!

Fabulous image and processing. They do remind me of our kookaburras, but the kingfisher is much more colourful. Probably not as noisy either.
