Giant-kingfisher_9277 - a photo on Flickriver

            Last of a 5 day stay in the Kruger Park and just leaving our camp.  Can you imagine the rush for the camera when I saw this beauty with his breakfast.  Just at that moment a cormorant sprang out of the water in an attempt to snatch the fish but the kingfisher was too quick.
