Belted kingfisher on the lookout!
Great fun with these birds a couple nights ago, watching them hunt, and chatter at each other.
Working with a fair distance here, 37 meters, or 121 feet, I used the teleconverter and stopped sown the aperture to f 13 to gain some sharpness.
Also, a huge crop in post-processing, this image represents maybe 15% of the frame. The 61MP camera does make a difference!
I was not fussy about the blue sky background, but I liked the detail at that distance, and the pose as this bird is on guard of its territory!
I will try again soon, as this location is excellent for kingfishers.
Thanks for looking!
