shot at second marsh awhile back.this is my closest encounter so far with these tough to approach birds!

i added this canada goose ,as i really liked the angle,and the light on it,as it flew by.

thanks for looking

Both nice captures..the King fisher to me is the most elusive bird so really good capture here!

Congrats, Kingfishers are so hard to close to. Love the head angle on the Goose image, so hard to get on flight images.

Very nice Denis! Beautiful background on the KF and great shot all round - they are hard to get. Nice shot of the Canada too.

Well done on both pics Denis.
Those Kingfishers are tough to shoot, I've yet to get even a reasonable shot.

Denis:
One of the loveliest goose shots I've ever seen. Won't burden you with flowery adjectives, but many thanks for sharing this magnificent shot.

thanks david.
these guys deserve recognition sometimes,also. they offer us many photo-op oppertunaties,especially during slow times.

I like the way you can see the flex on the left wing of the CG.
