Kingfisher Fishin'
Uploaded: October 21, 2007
Hi Guys,
Here's another from my Kingfisher site...
Today he was fishing for some Three-spined sticklebacks, wich are not easy to swallow....
In the end he did drop the fish as it was too big & dangerous for him...
Greetings,

I'm with everyone else... "WOW!"Jeroen Stel October 22, 2007
Hi Guys,Thanks for your kind words!
I have been working with this and other Kingfishers for some months now and put up my hide at about 4 to 5 meters away, so the 600mm makes things easier, but a 200mm or 300mm with 1,4 or 2x converter would have been enough.
