However, I did see my first even Kingfisher.... :thumbs::woot::woot:

a fast orange and blue flash just over the water........and making a very distinctive call - which now makes me think I've heard loads. No pics of him or her as just a fleeting flash... but I can confirm they do exist.


:lol:

Loving the reflection, works really well. The only problem with the photo is that the focus point is a few meters behind the swan :(

:razz::razz::razz: What size concrete wellies do yuo need next Saturday?

Yep its the standard pentax/sigma combination problem........... or the fact I was on AF-S, instead of AF-C and the bloody subject wouldn't stay still.....

EXIF confirms I screwed up! 1/1000 F10 handheld shouldn't really be a problem should it. Even for a lump of a Gripped K20D, siggy 120-400.

However if you look at it on a 2.7" screen - it's bang on! :lol::lol::lol::lol:


I am sure after a couple of Balvenie's it will be perfect!

If it had been in focus it would have been nice mate... That refection and the wave as it moves forward would have worked well;)

Mods - this calls for a Permaban! Blatent posting images clearly not his own and passing off as. :lol::lol: :cuckoo:

Compositionally it is far superior to any other of Don S's postings. I suspect it is the work of a Mr Tappilappi! (as he is a birder, N Mafia, and has kingfisher poo stains on his camo cover on his big lens)

Yep I fully agree. Saw the shot. Screwed up the taking of it. Ah well, I have no problems in posting the odd epic fail! I blame Damien. OK he wasn't there, but it's still his fault!

Down soldier.....I checked with Mr Rix before posting, and I've got the text message to prove it!! :razz:

I wish there was a two finger salute smiley!!!! :lol:
 
Damien: You should have elaborated a bit more ... I would have clarified the exif on your pic! :D :D :D

Lynton: We need proof that you have seen one! We wont let you off the boat on Saturday until you get a kingfisher pic ... :D
 
MD - if you don't take immediate action, I will be starting riots in Norfolk tomorrow , which could include such displays of violence as "throwing carrots at tractors"

No need to go back to the original point. It was intended as "good idea but screwed up the
execution."

Personally I was more excited to see a Kingfisher as I now know they ARE REAL!

I did get a rather odd proposition though from some other guy in the hide........:gag::gag::gag:

Sod the thread I now need to know more pm me if its nsfw I love stuff like this " when it happens to others"



MD
 
Perhaps I should bring a selection of kingy pics with personalised exif ... ;)
Oh and Lynton: I'm sure Damien wants to know more about that proposition ... :eek:
 
well Captain Toby will just have to make sure he drives the boat to the right place. Or walk the gangplank in size 9, Lafarge!

Toby has no idea what's in store for him.....one thing is for sure, he'll be a changed man by the end of it!!! :naughty:
 
This is the best thread I've read in a long time, you can feel the :love: :gag: I really wish I could have done the boat meet :bang: will look out for one next year :thumbs:

I'll have to sort out my visa first though though with my granny coming from norfolk that should clear me hopefully :D I might try and gather a some of the W&WM army to come with me but that a year away so I'll keep quite now

Ps if it was in focus that swan would have looked great :thumbs:

Matthew: Don't worry, if you do ever accidentally find yourself in this part of the world we can play nicely ... it's just that generally we choose not to ... :help:
 
rm not rally sure how I should put this, but just told MD who is wetting himself with laughter.

The broad, is genuinely called Cockshoot Broad, and is near Woodbastwick in Norfolk. If I could be bothered to go onto google earth and get the GPS co-ords, I would but I cannot. If you want to google Woodbastwick and its up a bit and right a bit.

Upon entering the hide, the following conversation ensued , and this is toned down and paraphrased:

"are you Mike?"
"no"
"are you sure you are not"
"erm yes. Been called Lynton for the last 38 and a bit years. I am pretty sure."
"Oh I was supposed to meet Mike here tonight as we are both bicurious and I want to su** a ****"
"erm, f *** off now!"

:thinking:

There's no love between me and Lynton.....his very existence is an insult to me!! :razz:

Don't worry though, I'm sure he'll get me back at the next wedding we shoot.....

Me: "Pass me that light stand Lynton"
Lynton: "No, but can I interest you in a 120-400mm up your exit hole?!"

It'll probably go something like that!! ;)

He's already removed one of my comments of his Facebook page tonight.....and it's still very very early!! :thumbs:

I did have a couple of summer holidays in the chalets at Potter Heigham a few years ago and I loved it :thumbs: even though the broads police did tell me off 3 times for going 6 mph in a 4 mph zone :naughty:

Well clearly such a digression from the rules, will mean your passport is invalidated forever......... you are hereby not welcomed in "these hare parts of the world"

Drive your boat at 4mph and 80% of otter's will live!
Drive your boat at 6mph and 80% of otter's will die!

Lynton says that at least one of us is not going to make it, so I'm out of here before the Norfolk Mafia get anywhere near a boat ...:D
