Kingfisher - Alcedo atthis
Canon 600mm f4 for 1/250th @ iso400
A poor year for the Kingfishers, infact there has been steady decline in the number of sightings over the last few years. Despite the valiant efforts of Simon in getting into the lake and placing suitable sticks into the mud of the lake. Alas despite these treks into the frigid waters of the lake, infested with mozzies, good thing he often wears his Botswana shirt, if you did not know he has been - he has ! That is a whole other story though…
Sightings are poor and it is now pot luck and in reality there is more chance of photographing a unicorn, this shot was from one of those lucky chance encounters.
