Fluffy Kingfisher

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!
The light was fading, the rain started again resulting in

30/sec exposure.
ISO 400

Re: Fluffy Kingfisher

That's a brilliant shot, particularly given the circumstances .... well done!

I haven't even seen one this year let alone got a camera near one!

Re: Fluffy Kingfisher

That's a lovely shot. I read it as 30sec exposure and was totally
awed at the KF's ability to sit still. Then I read the EXIF and realised
it was 1/30 sec! Still pretty impressive though.
