The title has a dual purpose today (which is unusual for me), Project Kingfisher is a nature area stretching 11km along the River Cole (in Birmingham). It’s name would imply that Kingfishers are here. Now, I’ve never seen one – though a blue flash once on the said river might have been. So today I’ve decided to try not only to see one, but photograph it.
The weather is looking better today, so all I need to do is kit up. The day hasn’t started off well, as last nights attempt at charging the 1D MkII battery has result in a rather flat bit of plastic. So a slight delay to the mornings shoot. I’ve still got my 5D MkII, but my preference for fast moving birds is the 1D – so I’m having to wait (contemplating why I didn’t get a couple of clone batteries on Ebay).
