Mark,

Welcome back (from India).

I'm guessing that's three images of one bird, right?
Any chance of a slightly bigger version?

Nice composition diving into the corner like that.

Cheers,

Dave, no it isn't a composite. I was focused on the youngster on the left as the parents swooped down, hence they aren't pin sharp ;-(

The birds are Pied Kingfisher.

Thanks Mark, Much better to see what's happening.

In which case you did well to get such good spacing of the three of them.

Cheers,

For other. As some may know I've been doing a film photography course this year and this has been scanned straight from a set of negs. I finally got my hands on a high resolution scanner to do this and this has turned out alright. Its an interesting process turning ones negatives into a digital image file not to mention it takes ages and doesn't always work well.

I have to admit the convenience of a digital might cost more but its worth it.
