A Common Kingfisher with a catch!
Shot in mangrove forest from a boat. The Common Kingfisher caught a fish and landed on this perch pretty close to us. She realized the closeness and within 5 seconds flew away. The fish was still struggling in the beak of the Kingfisher.
These are resident Kingfishers quite common in the countryside. During a birding trip last week, we visited a large mangrove forest in search of the Black Capped Kingfisher - which we sighted- but couldn't get any shots of the bird. Instead had to settle for this one. The weather played spoilsport and the haze made it an unproductive trip.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Much appreciated.
