Thanks Christian, we have a local Heron, every time I was out without a camera at the local park it would fly over me. The only shot I ever got of it was with a Tamron 70-300 from a long distance. it's even flown over my house to raid the neighbors pond!

We have one species on the East Coast of the US called the Belted kingfisher. The little buggers are my nemesis. Never close enough on the lake for a good shot but always chattering around me as if to mock me. They have very short tails which probably helps them dive for fish. This shot is better than the first try you showed the other day. -- Christian http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com/ John Whittingham wrote: > Thanks Tim, the feet are cute, the lack of any real tail feathers always > puzzles me. > > Regards. > > John > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Øsleby > [[email protected]] > Sent: 08 May 2009 18:17 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Kingfisher Reprise > > Technically this is a lot better. > > The tiny feet made me smile. > > -- > MaritimTim > > 2009/5/8 John Whittingham <[email protected]>: >> Had better light this time around and more reach. >> >> http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9135252&size=lg >> >> Pentax K20D, Battery Grip, SMC Pentax DA*300/4, Kenko AF 1.5x SHQ >> Teleconverter, f/5.6, 1/750th sec, ISO 560 >> >> Best regards, >> >> John -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
