It's time for the third nesting at my Kingfisher site and despite the fact that they are still feeding the chicks of the second brood they have started mating and digging the nesting hole for the third.

Hi Jeroen, lovely comp and the slow SS has created a great wing beat to compliment the behavioural aspect of the shot, doesn't get much better. Good clarity & sharpness where it counts, cool image.

Trust you are enjoying the 1DX. :toast: :toast:

I like the way the OOF end of th perch draws the eye into the picture. Well planned and executed Jeroen, another stunning Kingie image.
