Hi Kevin, superb video and didn’t know about tip #2 and the rehearsal before dive 🤦🏼♂️ I have a location with regular perch but often quite dull so 1/3200 and f8 bit challenging and screwing up my “in dive” shots - but thank you so much 👍🏻😎
Thank you Kevin. I see Kingfishers every morning along the Blackwater River in Yateley (Hampshire) at around 8.30am - they seem very busy mot mornings. I think there are 2 nesting pairs about 100 yds apart but sadly one of them has started to look very old and shabby this year. My dog often wades below them while they perch and they dive around him as he stirs up the fish, returning to their perch with breakfast! I dont try to photograph them for 2 reasons; I dont have the equipment, and secondly, they are so frequently seen and for at least 5 minutes at a time, that I simply enjoy just being able to watch them from about 10 feet away.
Very good tutorial. Where I live, we have the Belted Kingfisher. The adults are extremely nervous and take off when you are 200 feet or so from them. The Juvis are more forgiving.
fantastic ! here in the midwest usa we have king fishers but I have never been able to capture pictures like that! with your tips I hope to get some pictures like yours! thanks a million
Amazing images! I've just gotten into birds and discovered that there are kingfishers in my area. I haven't even seen one yet, but my wife did on our last trip out. She even got a good pic with her Canon powershot. I couldn't even see it. So, baby steps. Your tips here are super helpful! Thanks!
Your photos are sensational! As a bird-in-flight fanatic myself, I love king fishers. I frequently visit our Kruger National park and smaller parks in South Africa in search of King fishers. I’ve only been lucky twice where I’ve been in a position to shoot from my vehicle a kingfisher diving in- and out of the water. Being in a park one is not allowed to be outside your vehicle and when you are parked on a bridge to finally get the photo of a life time, you have to move on as there are other cars waiting for you to move which is very frustrating! You seem to have the ideal spot. Thank you for sharing your magnificent photos.
Your pictures are extraordinary and wonderful to see. Environment is obviously so important; and finding a bird family near enough to where you live, no doubt, helps a lot. Absolutely inspirational, thank you.
I watched this yesterday, hands down the best advice on TH-cam for getting pictures of Kingfishers, hands down. I’ve been working through the rest of you equally great videos, thanks for the huge effort I know this must have taken 👏👏👏
Thank you. Great tips and excellent photography. I love to watch kingfishers and I know how difficult it can be to see them. I feel lucky when I see that flash of electric blue as it flies by. I will check out more of your videos. Simon
Great great video, with a lot of good advices. And some real amazing shots. I am an Norwegian living in south Brazil, so the kingfishers here are very different from there. But i am sure that the techniques you are using there, also will work out great here. Thanks for all the good advices. Cheers, Bjoern
another fantastic video you are deserving all the followers and likes, o know you put a lot of work into these, see you out there soon great stuff. very refined product
I have always been frustrated at knowing when the bird is going to dive, so I'll definitely have to watch out for the head movement. That could prove to be very useful.
Just subsribed Kevin, many thanks for an intuitive blog, as I have just found kingfishers in `East Renfrewshire, I have also just purchased the R5 with the RF 100. 500mm so looking forward to getting out there and trying for that magical shot. thanks again.
Awesome and very informative video Kevin. I am watching a Kingfisher last few months, not had much success up to now, but your video will help me a lot. Cheers Mate 👍🏽👍🏽
Loved watching this and you sure took some nice shots. Here in Belgium, we actually are having a period of seeing kingfishers all around the regular places. I must have taken more then 3000 photos in the past month of that beautiful bird. I love how you are not going into details of brand and stuff, wich only brings lots of unpleasant discussion. Looking forward to see more of your work.

Now and first of all, I need a creek with a kingfisher population and no dog owners, joggers, whatsoever permanently walking around 😅
