Nikon Z9 video and 120fps shoot of Kingfishers

This short video is part of the output from today's shoot of Common Kingfishers at Otterbourne Hides & Studio, Hampshire, England, UK.
I used a Nikon Z9 with a 400/2.8E-FL lens.
The first segment was video shot on camera and the second is a video created from the 146 shots I took at 120 frames per second (fps) -- yes 120.
The Kingfisher drops from its perch to touch the surfaces of the pool in about 0.25 seconds - which is roughly 5 frames when shooting at 20 fps. Capturing the point at which the bird's bill first impacts the surface requires much faster frame rates than have been available to me before I received my first Nikon Z9. So huge thanks to Nikon
