Taken from one of the hides at the nature reserve, always a sight to enjoy here. One can usually see a selection on birdlife here, BUT still not seen the kingfishers yet. I have been trying to take some kingfisher shots but so far it has been one flash of blue and that is that. While here on Wednesday as I entered one of the hides one chap already there made with the sshh motion-- a kingfisher was around but very skittish. You guessed it, it did not return but the chap showed me the capture he got before I got there- a very, very good shot of the bird on a post in the water and the bird filled the frame super sharp (it did help he was using a 500mm prime lens). A question - what is the best time of day to catch the kingfisher?
