That looks like a brilliant combination for this most demanding branch of our hobby.
Best wishes,

Thanks for comments
Don, it has been cropped for composition. The kingfisher was central in the frame originally. Still a good 3/4 of the original
Here's another. I'll add a few more to this thread too over the next couple of days
K3, DA 300, f8 1/400 sec, ISO 320

Both great but the first clinches it because of they way the bird is looking back towards the camera, clearly never having seen such a big Pentax lens before.
Lovely shiny blues, sharpness and nice compo all come together winningly ... Fantastic Alan!
