   Sensational. What a remarkable set, and what remarkable optical design advancement that enables such IQ using a zoom with 2x TC!  Unimaginable only a little time back.
Kudos to Sony and to Peter the expert bird photographer.
If I had to pick a favourite it would be #13.

	Lovely series Peter. I’m a Kingfisjher-fan and these shots really hit the spot. Beautiful colors and great action. Particularly like #14
	Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

	The Australian Kookaburra is renowned for beating it's prey to death whether it be a snake, lizard, or a sausage purloined from a family BBQ. The kingfisher belongs to the same family albeit a much smaller version and exhibits the same behavior beating the living bejeesus out of these crabs 2 With sand and bits of crab flying in all directions. 3 before swallowing the tasty morsel. 4 5 6 7 Does it tickle on the way down? 8 I'm guessing so as I was just about to walk away when it regurgitated the lot. Never seen this happen before... 9 10 11 Neighbours with a clean catch had no such problems.. 12 Although you could see sand on the 'killing' branch. 13 14
