WWT Kingfisher activity

 

Good to see plenty of Kingfisher activity at WWT Llanelli today. Both male and female juveniles (I think from the first brood) stayed around for some time, and have learnt to fish well.

These birds, along with the others in the broods, will disperse a bit further once autumn gets a grip, and we then head in to winter. Other birds on the WWT site, in the more saline areas, will be seen on and off.

A beautiful sunny day can be a nightmare for photographing Kingfishers, ensuring you don`t blow the whites (very common in photos). Harsh shadows when the bird is turning means even more for the delete bin, so what looks good to the eye can be more tricky to photograph properly.
