Giant kingfisher - big by all other kingfisher standards apart from the US belted kingfisher which they closely resemble. The sizes of the fish they catch ar extraordinary and often as big as the bird! Must read up on this but I've never seen them taking small manageable bites. This was taken in the north of the Kruger NP close to Punda Maria rest camp.
Just a bird on a stick really but what a bird and what a stick!
