I decided to return and capture this beautiful kingfisher on a sunny morning. I also used a Tamron 2x converter with my 70-300 Canon lens on the 7D. I think it is a better photo than the last one I posted. Some of you may say,”another bird!”
Where are the Fish?
I’ve seen this bird most mornings at 5:45 on our morning walk around the Parliament building. It too dark to photograph plus I don’t have my camera with me. Today I decided to return later in the day. I waited 10 minutes and gave up and headed home. I had only taken 30 steps down the sidewalk when I saw this kingfisher swooping down on the water before perching in this tree. I retreated and got some photos with a 70-300mm canon lens on my 7D camera.

I managed to capture this shot while the kingfisher was hovering, waiting to dive into the water!
I found another better photo of an Asian Openbill in flight.
Asian Openbill
I saw a reflection of the sun in a window of a nearby hospital so I grabbed my camera and raced for our rooftop (1 flight of stairs). This is the scene I saw.
If you don’t want to miss a shot always have your camera handy to save precious time.
Silhouette!
It was a pleasure to go birding with Ronald Halder, James Pender, and a professor from the university. I also verified the bird in the book Ronald gave me, A Photographic Guide to BIRDS OF BANGLADESH.
