This side-on close-up shows a kingfisher perched on a dead branch, holding a fish in its beak. The bird's vivid colours range from orange underparts to a turquoise head and back, with white patches, a black eye and beak.
This frontal view shows a kingfisher flying with a freshly caught fish in its beak. The rippled water below reflects the bird as though it were a mirror.
