To see one is a priviledge. To aim a camera at one is a rarety. To actually take a shot of one is magical. Lucky you.

And what about getting two in the picture - even better. Here is one with both on the branch. But just before I took the burst of images a third flew past with fish in beak!To see one is a priviledge. To aim a camera at one is a rarety. To actually take a shot of one is magical. Lucky you.

Andrew, I know what you mean about being lucky just capturing one of these little beauties.
I was lucky when I got a few of them and this is one of the batch, somehow that place in the image does look familiar, is it the Rye Meads centre by any chance? That's where I got this one

No, in my garden ... A few miles down the River Pinn from Ruislip Lido

Nothing special but capturing a Kingfisher in flight is a rarity although I was hoping to catch one diving.
I used the continuous burst mode and picked up one in flight. The image is straight from the camera with a little cropping from 1536x1024 to 1232x930 to remove some unsightly rubbish on the bank
