Kingfisher BIF's (7 images)

[nzmacro]

Yes my favourite subjects, addicted to them for sure. Guilty as charged . Close to 3 years concentrating on these and I can feel another 10 years coming on.

Sacred Kingfisher about the size of a Sparrow, I do love these and the antics they get up to.


1: You can't see them do this by eye, they skim across the surface and the next thing you know, they are perched eating a small crab. So the only way to see them get the crab is with a camera.

2: After a dive

3: Up from a dive

4: I feel a headache coming on

5: After another dive

6: The rising

7: Crab is on the menu ....... again !!

All the best folks.

Great shots Danny as always Danny.. #2 & #6 are my fav. Even my colleagues seemed to enjoy them

Amazing as usual Danny. Number 2 for me. Perfect So cool to see behaviour frozen that is usually over in an instant.

You would love our Azure kingfishers I reckon. Keep them in mind next time you are over

i really like the wing detail in 3 and 7! Nice work Danny! BIF shots baffle me to begin with and knowing you're using MF kills me. You're giving me the itch to try more BIF shots. Hopefully my AF can keep up with you .
