    My first Kingfisher

    Hi,
    Went to Panti forest during the weekends and only got 1 record shot for the whole day. Still, being a newbie, I'm happy to get to shoot my first KF Kingfisher although other shots didn't make it. These birds are so darn fast that by the time I'm about to press the shutter, they're gone. This guy stay for a good 5 seconds so I get 2 shots of it. First one was blur and I had to manually over-rite the focusing for this one. Any tips from pro birders here?

    Guys,

    Please refrain from creating new abbreviations. It makes the forum unsearchable. And it makes no sense to search engines, on which we depend for new traffic. It also makes no sense to people for whom English is NOT a easy language.

    Thanks.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    ok, picture of black backed kingfisher.
    What Luenny shot was the Rufous Backed Kingfisher.
    All shot at Lower Piece reservoir earlier this year.
