| I’ve been on Mission Blue Banded for three weeks now. He is one elusive Kingfisher; no pictures to show over that period although I’ve sighted him several times . It was almost 8.30am when I reached the target area, a dimly lit stretch of the stream beneath a clump of tall bamboos where he had been previously spotted . Looked through the viewfinder as I was about to complete the equipment setup and to my surprise there he was on the overflow pipe. Only managed two hurriedly taken shots before he disappeared. A male Blue-Banded Kingfisher (Alcedo euryzona peninsulae), a lifer. Mission Blue Banded is only half accomplished- will still continue to get better pictures.

Congratulation!
ReplyDeleteThis one is not as colourful as Blue-eared.
How many Kings you managed to 'captured' so far?
found him finally...
ReplyDeleteYes, finally got him. So far 8 Kingfishers.
ReplyDeleteShe's actually very colourful but the lighting condition was not very favourable ( The flash was still OFF!). That's why I categorised the mission as half accomplished.
Congrats Madi Got the other babbler but pic not so good deep into the stream..............

ReplyDeleteI wanted pix badly though I got many from the old camera. No standard lah!
