POTW - w/e 23/10/16

[KateW]

My choice for POTW this week was difficult, as there have been some pretty brilliant images. However, I've settled for this one by Rogerw. It's not easy to photograph a kingfisher - I've only ever seen one in my life, and they move so fast! This image shows great skill and patience, and to top it all, it has a lovely plain background. Well done Roger!

WOW never expected that ,that you so much , means a lot , as you rightly said , its a very long waiting game , and then you have to be so quick as they like to whiz around, hope to go bck again one day ,and maybe wait for that most wanted shot of him coming out of the water,

Thanks once again.

Well done Roger, your patience, persistence and readiness to 'grab the shot' really paid off in this one.

I am really pleased for you Roger ... I  know  this will mean a lot to you .. It's a super image and  so well deserving of   Kate's ( Good on ya Kate) choice of POTW.

A big pat on the back to you .... throwing down the gauntlet  to all of us who have wanted to get a capture of one of our most beautiful and elusive native  birds.  Phil and I, at least, will kill to get the opportunity  to follow in your footsteps ...
