A bit of Kingfisher action

Superb set Bob... I'm trying to work out what caused all the splash in the first pic, surely too much, and too dispersed for the kingie?
Love the 6th one where he's rising like a phoenix :o)
I hope he got rid of the fishing line ok?
And getting 2 in the same frame...that's just showing off!!
Thanks for sharing :o)

First one - yes just the Kingfisher: the water was very shallow and dirty which I think surprised the juvenile. It's vegetation and not fishing twine which he/she got rid of later. (it's an access controlled Nature Reserve so zero chance of fishing line plus yo see the vegetation on other birds).

Brilliant photos Bob.

I think its photo No9, (wasn't that part of a 60's song title, poss John Lennon), looks like the kingfisher has some thread in its beak?

Thanks. Almost certainly vegetation which went by the next couple of dives.
