Alan McFadyen has been a wildlife photographer since 2009 and has just managed to capture a photo that he’s been trying to take ever since. McFadyen believes it took him 4,200 hours and 720,000 photos in order to capture the perfect photo of a kingfisher diving straight down into the water the second before impact.
The photo I was going for of the perfect dive, flawlessly straight, with no splash? McFadyen told The Herald Scotland. ?I would often go and take 600 pictures in a session and not a single one of them be any good. But now I look back on the thousands and thousands of photos I have taken to get this one image, it makes me realise just how much work I have done to get it.?

The end result is a truly beautiful photograph. McFayden runs his own wildlife photography hide business. More information can be found on Facebook, Twitter and on his website.
