Re: A NEW BEGINNING ( kingfisher)
Wonderful pictures as always Gustav - thank you for sharing the results of your labours with us. I can remember you telling us before that green backgrounds mean that it is summer . I and others on the forum, I am sure, would be interested to hear about how you got to know the new family of kingfishers? Are these shots with the 70-400? Are you still pleased with it?
(On television here in the UK last night there was a wildlife program that included kingfishers. I learnt a new fact I think - that female kingfishers have an orange mark on the lower bill - does this mean the bird in shots #1 and #2 is male, and the baby in #3 is female?)

Re: A NEW BEGINNING ( kingfisher)
hi everyone
i writh this answer , for the second time
first time à hour ago , i was almost finish with my answer , and then the FORUM was out
so i writh it again ,
about five weeks ago , the father-kingfisher begins , to bring every half hour fish to the nest , that`s mean the baby-kingfishers are out of the egs
en want to have food
when they are out of the egs , it takes about twenty-five days , that the little-kingfishers fly out of the nest
one and a half week ago , i was ther to , and i hear them twitter
that means that is almost time to fly out , and they come to the front of the nest
so this saterday i was ther and i saw a little-kingfisher on my branch , so i now , that the around one week old
yes indeed t think no 1 and 2 are a male and 3 a female
i take this picture`s with the SAL 300MM 2.8 SSM
i hire this lens
yes iàm very happy with the SAL 70-400 i think it`s a very good lens
at the moment , when i have this lens , my SONY 70-200 SSM stay`s in my bag
me and some friends , have make a comparision test between the SAL 70-400 VS MINOLTA 400MM G-LENS F4
here a link
http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/comparision ... 46212.html
i take many picture`s with the 70-400
here can you see a lot of them
http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/some-birds- ... page1.html
and also on PHOTOCLUBALPHA , bird in flight and kitesurfing in flight , those picture`s i taken also with the 70-400
the 70-400 is a great lens and it is worth the money
i think its well built and the colour for me is good , when you used this lens , the color problem is disappeared
the most important is the quality and i think sony succeeded to build a G-LENS ZOOM LENS on the highest niveo

Re: A NEW BEGINNING ( kingfisher)
Hi Gustav, thanks for the reply. Fascinating stuff. (sorry you lost your first draft!)
Looking forward to more pictures as the summer, and the family, progresses.

Hi,
New Kingfisher family and the new 70-400 G combination is producing very good photos Gustav.
The colour of the breast feathers of this family differs from the previous family's bright yellow-orange one. The change is refreshing...
