SevenDUser, shot the kingfisher; and yes my question too - how many tries before getting such an amazing shot??

Thanks for the kind words, guys. @Jack, I don’t use a tripod. Just have the camera and 500 strapped across my shoulder. Panning is a lot easier that way. Holding all of it level while shooting is practice, practice, practice.

It's a very nice shot but surprisingly noisy for iso160. Did you push the the exposure in post processing?

I didnt, but I noticed the same thing. I will work on some processing and repost...I was just a bit excited to post this one as its the first time I saw one.
