Five species of Kingfisher already in this thread. How many different kinds of kingfishers are there?! :wtf:
 
I've not even managed to take a decent shot of the one type we have here:(.
Me neither! Common Kingfisher requires careful planning, lots of patience and, preferably, a hide. They're very shy things.
 
:yikes:

I doubt it, having seen some of your other work.

But but but, what about the kingfishers you posted in this thread? Aren't you a bit hard on yourself maybe?

Although I don't doubt that they're shy birds.

The ones I've posted so far are all rather larger birds that weren't quite so shy. I ought to add that all four of my photos above are somewhat cropped and the first two were run through Topaz Gigapixel (which I suppose is a bit of a cheat - but it's there to be used).

I've seldom seen one and only from a great distance so I'm afraid it's true but thanks anyway.

Jack was talking about shots of the common kingfisher, only one we have in Europe. The ones he posted must have been taken elsewhere.
