Remember that encounter Keith, only had one at very close range in a natural setting in the last 40+ years still can remember it as if it was yesterday. The good light also gave it that little bit extra zing on its plumage. 😊

Thanks Glenn. Yes very special when you get that chance and it is not a set up perch. Good light was with me that day. Cheers Keith

Lovely images Keith of the kingfishers, something I still haven't managed to get as of yet. See them plenty but never at the right time 😂 all the best m8 👍📸

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate. It is all about sitting and waiting I find that's the only way to get close. Cheers Keith

Hi Keith,
I really enjoyed this video, You managed to get some really lovely photos of the Kingfisher. It's my favourite bird and I managed to get a couple of photo's of one at my local pond. Purely on the off chance, not brilliant photo's, but photo's nonetheless. I'm still on the lookout for another one, on my local river and I'm sure that the day will come again for another photo opportunity...😃👍🏻

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Eddie. Keep persevering it is definitely worth it.

Thanks mate. Is it really that obvious 😂

[@ronaldlinkenhoker5705]

Beautiful photos and video. I have been trying to get photos of kingfishers for three years without success, but still hoping.

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks Ronald. Keep trying you will get there one day.

[@philipwatson2443]

Good video Keith, got some pics of a Kingfisher today, but not diving

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate. Those diving pictures elude me but we will keep trying.

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate. Those diving pictures elude me but we will keep trying.

Great video Keith, some cracking images and footage! I notice some of the stills are taken at 700mm, have you bought the new 200-800 RF lens for your R5? Just wondering what you thought of it? I’m still using my 100-500 on mine and still very happy with it but be nice to have that extra bit of reach 😊 Anyway, another great video, well done 😊👍

[@KGsPhotography]

Thanks mate. Still using the 100-500 but had the 1.4x converter on for those images. That gives me the 700mm. I know people who have the 200-800 and really like it, like you say always good to have the extra reach. Thanks again mate, cheers Keith.

Hello. Ccould you tell me what the bird is in this video? I thought it was a Water Rail and the uploader thinks it's a Moorhen, but I don't think it's either. ua-cam.com/video/j54iRFIQMns/v-deo.html

[@KGsPhotography]

I think it is a Moorhen. It is definitely not a Water Rail.

[@man.bike.camp.4409]

@@KGsPhotography Okay. I looked up Moorhens and it says the male and female have red beaks with a yellow tip. That's why I didn't think it was.

[@KGsPhotography]

Maybe a youngster.
