What a Mouthful......

What a Mouthful......

             Giant Kingfisher (Female)

This beautiful example of this wonderful Kingfisher has caught her dinner, but is wondering how  best to deal with what is a relatively large baby catfish.

This late afternoon image was captured on the Chobe River, near Kasane, northern Botswana, Southern Africa.
