Yes! after 2 and a half years hoping, praying, scouting, hiding in a hide, hoping that the common kingfisher at the hardin would come closer for a close-up picture, last Monday it did!!Without fanfare and totally unexpected it just perched right beside the zebra dove I was photographing. Common Kingfisher, common migrant  Canon 40D Canon FD 300mm 2.8L 2x canon TC f around 7, 1/320 iso 400, on a tripod. Here is the lucky zebra dove as well  Canon 40D Canon FD 300mm 2.8L iso 320 f7 1/250 iso 400 on gimbal tripod Cheers Chito |

Congratulations!!! Your patience and perseverance has paid off. After having seen you bird in Candaba, I am not surprised to see the result. I know your heart must be speeding at a 100 miles an hour but your demeanor is as calm and cool as a cucumber.
Well done Doc. Mabuhay.
