Kingfisher
This little felle live in the brook some where and he has a mate. I have seen her. She has a red underbill which give her the look of wearing lipstick.
This photo I sent up to our local weekly rag and it was accepted and can now be used as an electronic greetings card.
I will upload one of the many poems I have written about him.

Thank you.
I would like to get closer but the brook has very steep sides(flood relief) and at my age one just dosen't clamber up and down them. :biggrinbounce:

How far away were you for that photo?
-
Bout 15 feet for that one. the others he is the other sid of the brook about 30 some feet.
He make a soung like Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as he skims the water. I have loads of photos. One of them won a water challenge comp' I was really pleased. He was sitting on a cain in the middle of the brook in the rain and I was under a tree and captured him with a nice reflection. rather a distan photo though

15 feet is pretty close, what lens have you got?
-
Nikon 55-200mm. I'm no photographer though I like to think I am.
I took 69 shots one after another and on the last two he turned round and looked at me.
It could be a bit more than 15 feet probably 20 down a steep slope. I'm just guessing really. I would still like to get closer.
