More years bird watching on the Townsville Towncommon than I care to remember and it can still surprise with a first and I got a picture!!.

Not a first for the common but a first for me.

Great Pic Ed,
I have yet to add a kingfisher to my list.
I like the way all the branches and the Bird is in focus.

Not an easy shot, open salt flats and lots of pig churned mud (you should see my boots!!), no cover, this was the 5th approach, very slow, shooting every few meters, very lucky to get this result as the bird was facing me for most of the approach only turning to fly off, as I said lucky I was already shooting at 3fps.

Good shot Ed! I've never seen a red backed kingfisher before either!

Gorgeous shot of a gorgeous bird. Love the background shades too.
