    It was fun, friendly and helpful. As there were only 3 students on the walk the teaching was very personal to each of us. Even though I've been taking photos for 40 years I leaned new things and felt it was good value for money.

    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
