Very well controlled noise for 6400 ISO. Super set of Kingfisher pixs!

Perhaps inspired by Graham and Jeff's superb photo's. Does anyone know if Kingfishers have a season, like they up-sticks and fly off to Iceland or South Africa for the winter or are they here all year round?

Juveniles don't go very far from their 'birth' site. c. 5-10miles. In contrast mainland European kingfishers DO migrate to the Med. Suspect that's the colder mainland conditions.

Eric, that reduces the urgency to visit N Wales... I am in dereliction of my duty to at least try to photograph the Ospreys on a nearby reservoir were they have been reported to be catching fish and heading back to Foulshaw to feed their chicks. I really should be struck off.

I really should be struck off. THEY will have gone now. Huge migration on going here in Norfolk. Thousands of pink foot geese already here. Graham is joining me at the end of the month for another early morning high tide spectacular. Hopefully a little warmer than January.....only just thawed out. ![]()

They are a protected species and disturbing them can lead to prosecution. Since Police are even rarer species there is little chance of this happening, of course.

this has been a particuarly good year for them so far .. but last Monday was the best day I have ever had at this reserve in 4 years and its been absent for the rest of the week .it really is pot luck other species there is week include chiffchaff ,reed warblers , blue tits ,great tits,long tailed tits . goldfinch , thrushes , gold crests,nuthatch , massive flock of linnets . lots and lots of dragonflies, butterflies etc .. not bad for a reserve you can walk round in 15 minutes . anyway I was messing with one of the K/F images this morning to see how far I could crop in as obviously the Olympus MFT sensor is smaller than a aps-c sensor . so below is a very large ![]() cropped image .quite impressed me and at 5000iso to ![]()
