    It had been a while since I last visited the park. The weather had been unsettled, but thankfully the rain had stopped so I grabbed my camera and off I went. The Boathouse is a regular for photographers as are the swans. I loved the autumn colours and enhanced them in Lightroom to produce this effect.

    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.
