Thanks Rod

[@gillygreen2242]

Stunning images and a great little video, really enjoyed that. Went Kingfisher hunting on the Norfolk Broads last year and saw lots of them. Photographing is another matter but i did manage a few shots. Nothing to compare to your superb photos though but was chuffed just the same.Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more. Gilly

Beautiful journey Jenn.

[@jgreg82]

Great video and pictures Andrew. Where abouts is this hide please? I’m going to add it to my post COVID plans

[@shaunnightingale4976]

Wonderful pictures Andrew.

[@fotonube4457]

Nice job mate. I didn't know you had a tube channel. I have kingfishers near me but we haven't managed to get too close yet so were going back with a pop up hide to see how we do. What an amazing location. The video and the images were superb pal 😊😊

[@AndrewHomer]

Thanks they become addictive

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@AndrewHomer]

David Bryant thank you for watching

[@mjasystems]

Awesome vid Andy! Nice work :-)

[@gadgetgazphoto]

fantastic images of both male and female, I had my first sightings and photographs of a male female and juvenile from last August to late October, but since October they have been less active in the lake area I was seeing them so think they are more hunting elsewhere, with occasional visit back where I photographed them most, love to know where they go mostly now lol.

[@AndrewHomer]

Thanks was my first year trying wildlife cant wait for the spring

[@brucegreaves3204]

Brilliant ,thank you for sharing.

nice work love the stills to.

[@Vincent_Vrsn]

I have seen one kingfisher at the pond of my local forest one day ago, where I shoot landscape, nature and some wildlife (I'm new to this, only got roe deers and some common birds), I'm searching informations on this bird that's why i'm here, I hope I will get one on picture one day, it's a really beautiful bird. Thanks for that video

[@AndrewHomer]

Vincent Vrsn thanks happy hunting they are stunning little birds

[@gunlokman]

Great kingfisher images - well done. Particularly since the depth-of-field was evidently pretty small. You must have been using some powerful glassware AND a very good camera support. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndrewHomer]

John Cortex thankyou very much

[@AndyBeattieUK]

Excellent Andrew 👌 You got some crackin' shots 👍

[@boomboxbadboy1]

Andrew Homer I use the same lens....I now live in Vietnam...I regularly chase kingfishers here in hanoi....got the common quite regularly...also have the white throated and pied kingfisher so far..

[@patmusic-2024]

Love this video!!

[@AndrewHomer]

Partha Khan many thanks

[@suecollins3246]

Those aren't Malachites, are they? Beautiful!

[@AndrewHomer]

Sue yes in UK called Kingfishers

[@suecollins3246]

@@AndrewHomer Yes, but what kind of Kingfisher? They look much like what Malachite Kingfishers look like here in South Africa. Except that with the Malachite Kingfisher that little russet patch on the cheek runs down into the russet on the chest. Lovely photos - small kingfishers are NOT easy to photograph.

[@johannlouw7347]

European kingfisher

[@peckeroni12]

patience definitely paid off ! a lesson to us all, what lens did you use andy ?

[@AndrewHomer]

Dave Wood thanks it was Tamron 150-600 G2

[@peckeroni12]

Coincidentally my next purchase ☺

[@ojusjohn]

How do I find good hotspots and public hides

[@AndrewHomer]

Hi a good place to look is a website called ebird, can search by bird or area and shows where spotted

[@janveber2676]

and camera please? thanks

[@AndrewHomer]

Hi Jan it was D850

Ed Ralph thanks appreciated

[@stuartschaffner9744]

Wow! Out of your comfort zone? One small tip. If you are outside in a lightning storm, a metal shipping container is about the safest place to be. If you doubt this, look up “Faraday cage”.

[@AndrewHomer]

Stuart Schaffner thanks i’ll remember that
