Dreamshots of Kingfishers ...
Imagine the scene: a high pitched tweet a blur of blue and orange and it's gone! That's all most people get to see of kingfishers as they fly off on the hunt for small fish.
I was very fortunate the other day. I was in a place that I'd been using since spring to try and photograph these amazing hunters. Yesterday it paid off!
I met a fellow photographer in the morning who told me that he'd got some good shots of a kingfisher in the morning. I met him about 10:30am. Four hours later I was blessed with this site:
I was lucky enough to watch this lovely creature catch a fish, kill it and then eat it. The full sequence is on http://www.wolf-photography.com/albums/Wolf%20Photography%20-%20Nature%20-%20Kingfishers/index.html. The first two images are of a kingfisher in Cornwall. The rest are from the other day.
I still haven't gotten over the shots myself. Everytime I load them up they make me smile from deep within.
Enjoy!
