Here are the remaining shots of a female kingfisher taken at Droitwich in Worcestershire. In my opinion, Britain’s national bird.

Here are a few shots of a grey heron taken at Broughton on the outskirts of Aylesbury. He was stealthily creeping around and feeding on something quite large however, at the key moment my camera was on the wrong setting resulting in a blurred images, frustrating indeed! Nevertheless, still quite nice close ups.

Here are further shots of a common kingfisher hunting for fish, taken from a hide in Worcestershire. As you can see she did not return to the perch with her catch but chose instead to dine in peace at another location.

Another few shots of a Kingfisher taken at a hide in Worcestershire. They were taken mid-afternoon in better conditions with only light rain and improving light. No fish this time!

Here are another few shots of my day at a kingfisher hide. All in all, I took around 500 shots, hence the reason why they are being covered over a number of posts. In my opinion you can never get bored at looking at such a stunning-looking bird.

This is the first in a series of posts following a day in a hide photographing the stunning kingfisher in Worcestershire. Ably assisted by professional photographer Tom Way (www.tomwayphotography.co.uk), we spent a full day in the hide and were rewarded with around 8 visits. The following shots of a female kingfisher were taken in low light and in heavy rain at around 1213hrs.
