Local Kingfisher with Fish

This was taken at a local nature reserve. This little chap had caught his fish and I was lucky to catch this shot of (him/her) catching it again.

The conditions were dull - so a handheld high ISO with a wide aperture, hence the shallow depth of field. Not the greatest shot I know, but it captured the moment. Incidently, the lens is a prehistoric 100-300mm Canon L, non IS of course.

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 100-300mm f/5.6L
1/200s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
