Venus Pool - Kingfisher in the rain

Cloud and drizzle are not the ideal combination fro photography but with a Kingfisher performing well over a long  period, it was a question of seeing what could be produced? I was shooting  between 800 and 2000 iso  to try and keep a fast enough shutter speed for the action shots.

Simple poses were simple enough.....



But some action was the name of the game - maybe a bit of open wing on landing?



And then, there simply had to be a fish!







Putting it all together......



Rarely landing to give a side on view!


Head on was the norm......






And finally, a long awaited fish toss! A generous amount of luck was used up here :-)


Cropped a bit 'closer'


Oh to have a had a bit of sunshine......
