The Kingy

I had seen Kingfishers during my visits to Exeter and Dorking on trains. Had always wanted to capture a decent image. After two unfruitful attempts in the past 2 months i finally got him basking in the sun on the outcrop of a tree stump in the Avon reserve.

Fill flash

I had always wanted to try out a fill flash for a long time. This Blue Tit offered a chance. It stayed there long enough for me to set-up the flash and take a couple of shots.


Here is another shot with fill flash This time a Great Spotted wood pecker. I had used the Flsh extender on my SB600

What a Display

I was trying to get adjust my tripod to get a low level shot of this pheasant. All of a sudden it gave a very load call which in fact scared me and made me press the trigger by accident. When i viewed the image - I was amazed by the display of this bird.

Image of the Month - Strong contender

This gold finch was there on the feeder for quite a while . I was waiting for it to perch on a nearby bush/tree to get an environmental shot. He game me an opportunity after 45 mins of wait. A strong contender for the image of the month slot.

Image of the month

This little fellow landed on the feeder as I was packing up for good from Arundel. I grabbed my camera, leaned against the window of the hide and took a hurried shot.The light was just enough to get a decent image. "Image of the month" so far from my first 1Gb card. Have 3 more cards to download. Let me see if there are anymore contenders?
