Getting good bird pics is always a crapshoot.

absolutely. Just getting Sacred Kingfishers to stay
put with their heads is pot luck:http://members.iinet.net.au/~nsouto/...n/_DSC0263.JPG

unsharpened, uncropped. I might do something with these,
when I get some free time. AF70-210/4.5-5.6, handheld.

but my target is the azure kingfisher: only seen one and
it didn't even give me time to blink, let alone have a shot...

Nice capture of a difficult avian. Being at the right place at the
right time is a must to
get those shots. And doing it hand held as well. Good shooting.

Keep at it Noons. Would like to see more.
