Thanks Johan, Fred and Harm. Interesting about the regurgitation, I'd never seen anything like it before, mind you I can't even remember the last time I saw a kingfisher. It did seem to reflect the cleanliness of the catch though which I suppose makes sense. Maybe the 'clean' catchers just waited until I wasn't around not wanting to upset my delicate sensibilities

Cracker Sacred shots! "Mine" has just returned here for the summer in the last couple of weeks.
And the regurgitation is a common thing amongst Kingfishers and Bee-eaters, it's pellets of whatever they can't digest (scales, shells and so on) that they regurgitate. |

And thanks again. It's always interesting to see how peoples favourites vary. In this case I think mine was #3. Brian, there were some collared about but Joe was correct these are sacred kingfishers. The 'collared' will hopefully be appearing in BIF at some later date... |

Wonderful images, Peter! You captured their behavior perfectly.
Were they Collared Kingfishers? Cheers... Brian |

Thanks everyone. Maybe I should have said this lens was more versatile than the 100-400mm. I think the IQ with the x2TC is as good but then you have the lens itself which is a great portrait lens and possibly without equal in its range. Well worth the price although Sony does always seem to be on the high side!! |
