Shimi, great capture in flight! 300mm, you must have had a good swing tailing this bird in synchronised motion. Wow. Posted 12 years ago

Wonderful flight capture! I don't know much about the Kingfishers in your part of the world, but those we have here in the US are notorious for being particularly difficult to photograph. Posted 12 years ago
