Awesome Kingfisher shots. I wish I'd seen one when I was in London. Never really left town so probably not very common around Regent Park, Kew Gardens or Windsor Castle.

Got some passable Robin, Green Woodpecker & Jay photos, although nothing like yours.

Thanks for sharing.

No worries, more soon. Yeah I wouldnt expect them around Regents Park but maybe in Kew Gardens but that being said, it may be tricky since there are so many people about and not enough places to hide.

They seem to like being near the water so a park with a stream is more favoured. Im slowly learning all the habitat stuff now. I was with a few others who got even more great results.
