I spent a few hours shooting kingfishers just before Christmas last year at Mike Dunlevy's hide near to Market Drayton in Shropshire (UK). It's a brilliant hide and Mike is a top guy and extremely knowledgable about the kingfishers. I highly recommend a visit if you don't live too far away once the covid restrictions are eased.

Here are just a few shots taken with the R5 + 100-500.

Thanks Adrian. It's a brilliant hide set in beautiful surroundings. I'll definitely be back when we are allowed to travel again.
 
Cracking images Tim, with nice clean backgrounds and no distractions in the frame.

Cheers Nick! Would of loved one eating a fish but sadly the only time he sat on the perch and ate the fish was when he had his back to me :(

Thanks Kathryn. They are beautiful little birds. Hope to get the opportunity to photograph them again soon.
 
Lovely images. I've been debating this lens for a few weeks now. This doesn't make it any easier. I'll have to stick with my Sigma 150-600 for the time being, but look forward to seeing more.
 
Beautiful photos. They're such stunning little birds, I wish we had them here. We don't have anything even remotely as pretty in Georgia.
