Kingfisher
I had some time in the afternoon yesterday. So I dashed to my kingfisher hide for two hours….

Crush landing 🙂 🙂
The bird seems to use the feather under his bill to guide him under water.
The dive, Always spectacular
Roe deer
Yesterday after lunch , I went for a quick recce. I came across three roe deer..it was a cracking moment. It`s the roe deer rutting season at the moment and they are bomb proof…

Few dives shot
This time , I have try to take some under water picture. It is not easy…I need to try something different.
The speed is always incredible. my eyes cannot clock what happening. Only the camera can tell me what`s happening under water. Amazing

The Kingfisher is probably one of the most charismatic bird in Britain. Incredible colours and bad tampered! 🙂
I wanted to photograph kingfisher fishing. So I setup my own hide . Yes, I could have dished out £ 150.00 and go in one of those paying hide thing..
But I wasn`t interested. I wanted to do my own thing. I like to setup my hide , go on recce etc…
It just take some time. But the reward are extraordinaire, if it works of course.
Boy did it work! At the moment, I have four different birds. They are chasing each other, fishing, fighting, calling etc.. . It`s amazing to watch ….
These pictures were taken in two photographic session. This is a work in progress of course …will see what happened next…
