So with just a few days to go before heading to Wales for five days of wildlife photography, I thought I'd take a break and head out to Mike Dunlevy's Kingfisher hide.
I have been working flat out with various projects, weddings, family photos, corporate events, etc. I just needed to take a break and head out to photograph some wildlife for seven therapeutic relaxation before I get organised for my trip to Wales.
I made a visit to Mike's hide last year to photograph the kingfishers a bit earlier in the season when there were a couple of juveniles around however as it's later in the year the juveniles have now fledged it is just the male and female adults coming in to take fish.
The kingfishers didn't disappoint and came in at least a dozen times both male and female kingfishers came in, landing on the perch diving for fish and going off downriver.
It wasn't till the end of the day when I was debating whether or not I should stay or go, then it all came together, and both the male and female kingfishers came in flew from perch to perch landed on the same perch dove in and took some fish, providing me with some great opportunities to get some fantastic images and video of these wonderful birds.
