hello ALl,
Last week I checked a place where the kingfisher is breeding. I expected that this week the young birdwould fly out. So yesterday I searched for some branches where I was hoping the kingfishers would sit on. Today I set my alarm at 4 o'clock and I drived one hour. Did some little walking to get to the right place with my equipment. Backpak, camera with Sigma lens + some extra (7 kilo) Tripod (2 kilo) Camo birdhide (7 kilo). When I reached almost the correct place I saw 1 Kingfisher sitting at a branch. So I setup the tent and placed the braches (2 pieces) where I want them. Then back into the camo birdhide and placing the tripod and started to build up the eqiupment. When I looked up I saw that there where 2 kingfishers already sitting at one of the newly placed brances WOW this feels good ![]() But this wil not stop with 2 kingfishers.... In totall I say 5 young and 2 adult Kingfishers. I never saw this before or saw a photo from such event ![]() First picture is from the adults. On next photo's you see the young kingfisher having grey feet and adult ones have orange feet. I was there 5 hours and there where only 10 minits I did not see kingfishers ![]() enjoy it.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() regards Walter follow up will be soon posted |

This is just too good to be true! What an achievement! But it didn't come without knowledge and efforts. Gold medal to you, Walter.:|
(But I didn't think you could drive for one hour in the Netherlands and still be in the country. If you don't get caught in a congestion, that is.) ![]() Kjell |

To fit two birds in focus (and interacting for a long lens with thin DoF ) is beyond doubt a great achievement. They are beautiful and your patience paid off handsomely. Job could not have been done in a better manner Congrat Daniel |
