Hi Tony
An endless challenge I should imagine - seeking the perfect Kingfisher photo.
Yours are great.
Only ones I've seen better turned out to be trickery, with underwater lenses and electronic tripping devices, all set up in a German Zoo.
So, for "real photography" you're right up there.
Cheers
Denis
