I don't know if it was because there were so many of us photographers out there or if the kingfishers were just not in the mood to play but there were not a lot of them out there today. Not long after I arrived I managed to get these images and then it went really quiet. So quiet that I decided to go home for lunch.
It was when I came out of my wee hide that I realised that there were so many of us there. I did hear one other photographer arrive but there were two others when I left for lunch and they were still there when I came back an hour later.
The tide was doing strange things too, it never really went out fully and was going up and down for quite a while. The birds never got their usual mud flats to feed from, they remained under water. This may have also contributed to the lack of kingfishers about.
As is usual, just after I left my spot, I looked back to the single photographer that was left and there in front of him was a kingfisher. He must have been happy after sitting there for so long that he even fell asleep at one point and that being the first kingfisher for him for the day.
