Kingfisher on Rainham Marshes
Spent 45 mins waiting for a Kingfisher to appear on Rainham Marshes. Managed to get this shot via a Nikon Coolpix on the back of a Nikon scope balanced on one leg, the tripod not me, amidst a group of excited kids, behind a net.
Lovely shot...saw one darting about a stream the other day, but no more than a flash of colour!
ReplyDeleteIt sat and posed for three or four minutes in front of the RSPB hide. Magic.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alastair. It was a tricky shot. :)
DeleteLovely shot of a beautiful bird. Better than any I've got of one so far!
ReplyDeleteIt was a miracle shot considering the conditions. :)
DeleteI was lucky.
