Pied Kingfisher - Milnerton Lagoon / Woodbridge Island
Pied Kingfisher in the Milnerton Lagoon / Woodbridge Island. All kingfisher photos by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 70D and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens (fast shutter speeds 1/1600 - 1/2500s). Handheld.
The relatively small, fast moving and very elusive Pied Kingfishers are by far the most challenging Birds In Flight to photograph in the Milnerton Lagoon / Woodbridge Island. Fortunately, from time to time, they present themselves (at a distance) to hover high above the water before the quick dive for small fish and the like. The fast auto-focus and high frame rate of the Canon EOS 70D / EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM prime lens combination provides for enough reach, focus and speed to capture them.
