Lovely pictures! I really like the one where you can see the water droplets still clinging to the feathers.

Re: Kingfisher Photos

I agree "lucky"

how do you get such good photos? mine are piles of cat droppings compared to this. do you use a lens as long as your arm or did you get really close to it?

please impart knowledge!
