Eight hours of cold, but it was worth it.

[Glen Roberts]

On Sunday I spent over eight hours sat in a cold hide hoping for some Kingfisher shots and I finally got some.

The female stayed distant...

...but the male came closer.

I did know they were in that area for a while but I only found the right place two weeks ago, but at that time I had to take my wife shopping so couldn't wait then.
Bloody shopping spoils all my fun .

Fantastic photos Glen

 

[Darren Turner]

shopping or no shopping just shows your true dedication paid off.......

 

[Tim Pindar]

But...8 hours...?? Wow.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Worth the piles I'll wager! LOL!!

Fantastic shots, and just an outstanding effort to get them.

I would not have the patience

Real lovely shots. You must have a lot of dedication, I just dont work well in the cold. I'm really feeling it at the moment just getting back from a warm climate and all. I'v felt cold every day all day sinse I got back.

excellent shots to be proud of

just goes to show though, that even 400mm on a crop camera is often not enough to get close to these little beasties. I lust after a 600mm

I know what you mean, a friend of mine had a Sigma 300-800mm which he let me try once.
The only problem was at 800mm I couldn't find anything in the viewfinder I was trying to shoot
