The kingfisher is very relaxed, he returns to the perch with caught fish, and batters it to make its fins lay flat enabling a smooth passage down his throat, during this operation he has his eyes shut. On occasion the fish is knocked on the perch dozens of times.

Certainly your best of a long line of wonderful shots.

From Wednesday, Ash Wednesday I am not eating Red Meat so fish will be eaten quite alot and I hope they are bigger than this Lads dinner.
