Great result Russell. Well done.
Can't argue with that lens either...in my dreams. Here's our King (Southern Africa) taken with a 500mm f/6.3 in the wild :)

| Technically excellent... the trouble with birds is they often look stuffed. Two are more intesting than one. |

Now, I have to comment on this. Love the light. Love the BG. Great detail.
I was going to enter my image of the Belted King (even has same green BG) I'm glad I did not because you did an outstanding job. People that never tried shooting this bird will not appreciate this to the full extent. |

| nice shot! I see kingfishers all the time in flight and they're just too fast to get a good shot, so don't mind seeing a percher this time round :-) |

| Belted Kingfisher, female. It doesn't get better than this. Amazing detail, color, exposure and wonderful blurred bg. I expect this to ribbon. 10 |
