Had an hour down at Cromwell Bottom today and had great views of the Kingfisher. It was totally oblivious to us and apparantly covers the same area all the time. For anyone who wants to get some picks start out at the Cromwell carpark go onto the canal path heading for Elland and it covers the first 200 yards on the right. Also had 4 Redpol on the feeders along with the usual , plus male and female Bullfinch.

Fantastic pics Mick, will try and get down at some point but doubt I'll do better that these. You still using that Canon 400mm zoom lens?
Yes , still happy with it.If you have some good light can guarantee youll get some great pics. Best of luck
Fantastic, this is where I got my first close encounter with one, it seems unphased by people! Really cheered me up today as someone had seen it fly into the reeds and not return and we feared the worst! Fantastic pictures and nice to meet you the last week!
