Location : Dadri Wetland-Near Greater Noida-UP
Camera/Lens : Nikon D300. Nikon 500mm F4, VR.
Common Name : White-throated Kingfisher
Scientific Name : Halcyon smyrnensis
Bird Family : CORACIIFORMES: Alcedinidae
Remarks : The kingfisher was perched on the tall grass
overlooking the water body. Next moment he had dived into the water and was
out in a ziffy. Sat on the brick wall with a big fish in its beak. The fish
looked big and I was sure he would have to drop the same as he would not be
able to swallow. Banged the fish against the wall to kill it which took a
lot of time and finally it did manage to kill or stun the fish and finally
swallowed it. Some images with the fish in the beak. In one image it has
tossed the fish to position it with the head first.
