Female Kingfisher

Female Kingfisher on the River Calder at Whalley, pity her favourite perches are so far away...

A great set of photos of these wonderful birds Rye,we have captured quite a few between us this year...except for Clicks unfortunately!

I especially like the way the light enhances the bird in these!

Now you know where her perches are ... are you able to position yourself any nearer .... or is that a daft question?  I’d still be pleased with these though ...

Thanks Denis, I was thinking that myself. Luckily the sun, even at 7-8pm still shines on the river at this spot.

Thanks Clicker. The river at this particular spot is about 150ft wide and whilst there are 3 little spits of islands made up of rocks, it does mean wading through upto 3ft of water to get to them, plus there's very little cover once you're there.

I thought there must be something stopping you getting any closer.... ... the colours do look amazing though despite the distance ... hats off to you for spotting it ...

Great shots, Geoff.
I'm going to have to make the effort to see one somewhere!

Lovely captures Rye.

Thanks Gareth and Roger.

Agree that the colours really show up in these Rye, you got the timing right, even though you couldn't get closer. I'd still be happy with those.

Thanks Kobione.
