Great shot Alan but as Don says - not the healthiest looking kingfisher.
Good luck at the show - wish I could have made it today to meet up with you. Oh well - hoping to get work out the way and make it tomorrow.

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

C&C welcome.

Yes, very impressive.
On a natural history point in the first shot. Do Kingfishers have short tongues or is it the birds stance? It looks odd in relation to the beak.

Great shots!
I notice the local pair I watch are also looking a bit "tatty" at the moment. There again, they have raised 2 broods this summer so I am not surprised they look a bit knackered at the moment!

They do have very short tongues Barrie. I expect its less to get punctured by stickleback spines
