Shot of the local Kingfisher flying head-on toward the camera, wings tucked into their high-speed aerodynamic tuck position. Knowing he was heading back through this choke point made it fairly easy to just focus trap it as it came through.
Two stylised Kestrel shots I picked up on the way back to the car with the photogenic old telegraph poles. Unfortunately the strip of river gets shaded in the last part of the day, so very little chance of photographing a Kingfisher once the shade gets too dark for my 50D at ISO1600. No spotting of the local Barn Owl during this part of the day yet, but maybe with the rainy weather due it might be more likely. We will see ...
