The kingfisher is the most beautiful bird in my region. It's always and adventure to search and photograph them. Thanks for sharing your tipps!

another fantastic video you are deserving all the followers and likes, o know you put a lot of work into these, see you out there soon great stuff. very refined product

Amazing images! I've just gotten into birds and discovered that there are kingfishers in my area. I haven't even seen one yet, but my wife did on our last trip out. She even got a good pic with her Canon powershot. I couldn't even see it. So, baby steps. Your tips here are super helpful! Thanks!

Excellent Channel, Beautiful Photos, Very Helpful And Informative. Many Thanks For Sharing.

Thanks mucker, the piece about pre-dive movements is invaluable….I’m away to a commercial hide next week and having never shot Kingfishers so I want to be sure I’m fully genned up on behaviour. The tech stuff isn’t an issue for me it’s useful for the for first timers. Excellent video and good to see a fellow veteran enjoying the peaceful life 😉

Awesome, superior, paramount, Superb. Thank you❤

Hey Mr. Hatley, awesome shots of the kingfisher 👌 thank you for Sharing your experience. Greetings from Germany

nice, it helps a lot, thank you !

I’m so pleased I found your channel, keep up the good work Kevin.

Thank you Kevin. I see Kingfishers every morning along the Blackwater River in Yateley (Hampshire) at around 8.30am - they seem very busy mot mornings. I think there are 2 nesting pairs about 100 yds apart but sadly one of them has started to look very old and shabby this year. My dog often wades below them while they perch and they dive around him as he stirs up the fish, returning to their perch with breakfast! I dont try to photograph them for 2 reasons; I dont have the equipment, and secondly, they are so frequently seen and for at least 5 minutes at a time, that I simply enjoy just being able to watch them from about 10 feet away.

Very good tutorial. Where I live, we have the Belted Kingfisher. The adults are extremely nervous and take off when you are 200 feet or so from them. The Juvis are more forgiving.

great vid Kevin

Thank you for your tips i will put them in to action and see how we get on Thank you again 👍👍👍👍

The kingfisher images are bloody wonderful and many thanks for the tips...

Thank you for the information on the Kinfisher. Will put to practice.

Fantastic video and very informative thanks for sharing

Well done Kevin excellent video most informative 👍

Just subsribed Kevin, many thanks for an intuitive blog, as I have just found kingfishers in `East Renfrewshire, I have also just purchased the R5 with the RF 100. 500mm so looking forward to getting out there and trying for that magical shot. thanks again.

Super presentation. Very useful and thsnks for sharing

Excellent images they are fantastic! Great video and tips thank you 👌👍

Gorgeous managed to get some really sharp my best ever shots of a kingfisher a few weeks ago on my 1st shoot with the rf100-500 on a R7 well chuffed how it allowed 3 of us to get within a few meters of it so really filled the frame and got really sharp water droplets on its back love it

Great vid. Colors vary depending on your location in the world.

Really good videos… Thank you!

This is so well presented Kevin, cheers mate! Subbed

Awesome informative video. One of the best sharing all aspects. Thanks so nice!

Great shots of this beautiful bird! We can appreciate the effort you’ve put in making these images. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Your photos are sensational! As a bird-in-flight fanatic myself, I love king fishers. I frequently visit our Kruger National park and smaller parks in South Africa in search of King fishers. I’ve only been lucky twice where I’ve been in a position to shoot from my vehicle a kingfisher diving in- and out of the water. Being in a park one is not allowed to be outside your vehicle and when you are parked on a bridge to finally get the photo of a life time, you have to move on as there are other cars waiting for you to move which is very frustrating! You seem to have the ideal spot. Thank you for sharing your magnificent photos.

Great video and pictures, thanks 👍

I have always been frustrated at knowing when the bird is going to dive, so I'll definitely have to watch out for the head movement. That could prove to be very useful.

Your pictures are extraordinary and wonderful to see. Environment is obviously so important; and finding a bird family near enough to where you live, no doubt, helps a lot. Absolutely inspirational, thank you.

I watched this yesterday, hands down the best advice on KZfaq for getting pictures of Kingfishers, hands down. I’ve been working through the rest of you equally great videos, thanks for the huge effort I know this must have taken 👏👏👏

Such remarkable images of a beautiful bird! Thank you for taking the time to share your photographing tips.

Great tips Kev

Wonderful excellent video.

Beautiful shots and very helpful tips Kevin. Thanks a lot!

Some of the best kingfisher pictures i've ever seen, well done. Brilliant video, such useful information, thank you.

This is a fantastic video. Interesting and informative thank you for posting this!

Thank you for your thorough insight into photographing Kingfishers. I enjoyed and learned a lot from this video.

Great job. It was helpful.

very impressive, thanks a lot !

Great informative blog Kevin good job mate

Very valuable tips. Thank you.

Great great video, with a lot of good advices. And some real amazing shots. I am an Norwegian living in south Brazil, so the kingfishers here are very different from there. But i am sure that the techniques you are using there, also will work out great here. Thanks for all the good advices. Cheers, Bjoern

Very helpful, thanks Kevin.

Great video with all the information needed to get great images of this amazing bird. Thanks for posting.

Loved watching this and you sure took some nice shots. Here in Belgium, we actually are having a period of seeing kingfishers all around the regular places. I must have taken more then 3000 photos in the past month of that beautiful bird. I love how you are not going into details of brand and stuff, wich only brings lots of unpleasant discussion. Looking forward to see more of your work.

Fantastic video! Thank you Kevin, i learned a lot in this video! Cheers Dave

Awesome and very informative video Kevin. I am watching a Kingfisher last few months, not had much success up to now, but your video will help me a lot. Cheers Mate 👍🏽👍🏽

Bellissimo!! Ciao from Italy

Excellent and very informative, thanks…
