[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First, excuse my bad english...So photo was taken on nice place in wild forests. I was waitin for several hours for this moment. Itīs not fight between kingfishers. Itīs couple (just married;) I had only 300 mm objectiv, so I must be few meters (cca 3 meters) from kingfishers....It was realy strong moment. I was hidden in reed and was no breathinī ....when I did little move, they fly away in one second...so itīs really hard to take photos of kingfishers in my country (with only 300 mm objectiv)

Excellent shot, David. You are right, it is easy indeed. But does not that make the joy even bigger when one manages to take similar photo? Bravo!

Cheers
