Location
This photo was taken at Lake Victoria, Uganda whilst on a 2 week bird safari in Dec 2017/Jan 2018. Getting so close up to these Pied Kingfishers was an absolute delight.Time
This photo was taken in the mid afternoon around 3.30 pmLighting
This was a straightforward to take, no lighting issues.Equipment
I used my canon bridging camera SX50HS my preferred camera for on foot bird photography.Inspiration
Seeing the 2 birds together just caught my eye - it needed to be captured.Editing
Cropped it slightly.In my camera bag
When I am in the field I just simply carry my bridging camera and have The tripod which can also be a useful tool to ward off overly inquisitive monkeys who may become a problem. I never feed monkeys.Feedback
Being an avid bird watcher I have learnt to sit still and observe the smallest of birds. Sometimes you just get lucky.
