King Fisher
It's been a while but here I'm posting an image.

Last week I got the chance to use a PhotoHide from Han Bouwmeester to test it. This hide is near the water (real water). This Kingfisher and his family are regular guests near this hide.

I managed to make this picture. First I was not convinced it succeeded but afterwards at home I thought it looks better then I thought at the moment I looked at the small screen of my camera.
I even think it has become the best pic of the day after all.

Not on a perch but on a reedmace (if the translation works well).
Lightning of +2.7 to get some color in the bird itself. I'm happy with it.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Tom.
It is nice to see a kingfisher perching on a Reed mace head gives a more natural effect imho,would like to see a larger image of this bird,but still nice has posted.
Cheers Keith.
