wrong camera

so dissapointed I had the wrong camera with me, just my pocket ixus. we were just walking along the canal route so didn't think I would need it, and the first thing we saw was this lovely kingfisher which was just sitting on the other bank. sigh!

I was once in a similar situation. The only thing was that was the only camera I had then! Could you crop the photo a little? http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/add-ins/2012-09-24
I've had a yen for a good kingfisher shot ever since - 3 and a bit years!!

What a shame , but you can see the kingfisher , so they are so difficult to capture

It happens to all of us, the shot that might have been

Oh isn't that annoying Linda......still you have proof you saw it!

@quietpurplehaze I feel to crop even a little would take it more out of focus than it is. it was amazing it was just sitting you normally just see a flash of blue, don't you?
@pennystot very kind thank you, they are speedy
@snowy thank you, I really added it for a diary shot with its story
@carolmw thank you for the sympathy
@happypat yes indeed, but yes so annoying
