Birds can be one of the more difficult subjects for a nature photographer, but the corresponding images can be remarkable if everything comes together. We think these photographs of Kingfishers turned out extremely well. A little skill combined with some luck and these photographers managed to get some incredible photographs. If these don't motivate you to get outside with a telephoto lens, then nothing will.
