Reversal of Fish

This male Belted Kingfisher has some work ahead of him. He has a fish, a small one of course, but it has to go down the gullet head first. So this kingfisher starts out beating the fish senseless with beak movements and then will have to reposition the fish so it can swallow it headfirst. The water droplets around the bird and beak are the result of this quick beak action.
