Stopping now as my fingers are freezing (the study is the coldest room of the house). A few Welney duplicates to end today....

Congratulations on reaching 400 with a beautiful kingfisher. I can see how missing the Seychelles trip was a great disappointmetn, but I'm glad you still managed to get away and even score a host of lifers.

Thanks @PeterHG probably not as many as there would have been in the Seychelles....

A beautiful bird to reach 400. Well done

Thanks @TonyQ

Commiserations on your surgery and missing out on trips.

Well done on the magic #400 and the lifers. Love the 'headless' Pochard. Great shot.

[Tdgraves]

Thanks @Galana

Thailand was the most economical.

And I am sharing your travel decision(s)!

 

South of Thailand has similar birds to Indian subcontinent. But much better light conditions! Maybe north of Thailand has a different set of birds.

 

The 200-400 is a fantastic lens, and I am enjoying looking at your duplicates.

[Tdgraves]

Thanks @xelas

the lens is great but it didn’t travel to Thailand with us!

Your Collared Kingfisher looks quite different to the one we saw in India, or maybe it is just the pose

I think it’s the light - yours looks to be in shade whereas mine was in full sun

 

thanks @Zim Girl
