Last week I was quite busy capturing the Kingfisher mating ritual.
Now I'm even more busy to sort them out etc...  ::)

Anyhow, here is already one of the mating action...


Thanks for looking,
Kindest regards,

Great shots Stany
I admire anyone who has the knowledge to track their haunts down, then the patience to wait for the right moment.

> Anyhow, here is already one of the mating action...

Ambitious, guess he's hoping to impress   ;)

Really awesome. These images should put to rest the Z AF skeptics.

One more, from last Sunday...

One more, from last Sunday, with Z7 & 200-500 @ 500mm.
Other than the first image, -which was SOOC-, this one needed sharpening because shutter speed was too slow.
