[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the first of three Kingfisher photographs taken from the Eric Morecambe hide on Silverdale marsh.
This one was taken using a Canon 1Dmk11, 2x converter, remote shutter cord, 1200mm focal length with the bird sat on one of it's fishing posts some 5 or 6 yards in front of the hide. Dull winters day and the background is the iced over pool. Hence the blandness.

Wow!
Hi Peter,
seems like the original shot was dark and you had to brighten it up quite a bit but it's always a prize when you photograph a Kingfisher and you've still done it superbly!
Absolutely brilliant!
Well done,
Joey

Hi Peter, beautiful photo of the Kingfisher! Excellent colour on the markings with good use of light on the eye, what a handsome little bird. Great focus, detail and sharp througout. I look forward to seeing the others.

Peter,
First I had my doubts...light is a bit dull.
Afterwards I started to like it; beautiful bird in a good pose. The image is well composed too. And it was winter...
