20190725 0601 SERIES - Belted Kingfisher.jpg

Ottawa West

Three consecutive shots of a Belted Kingfisher, perch up high, getting ready to dive and then partway into its dive. Unfortunately, I missed the second half of the dive and of it catching a small minnow.

Top Image: Concentrating on the water below.

Spotted something and getting ready to dive.

In full dive-mode - well I got most of it, but missed the rest of the dive and catch.

Nikon D500 ,Nikkor 200-500 mm VR
1/1600s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso220 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A very attractive little bird and obviously, based on your last shot, pretty fast. Great captures!
