Digital Calendar photo description
Giant Kingfisher with Catch
Late afternoon at the Pafuri bridge in the far northern region of the Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga,
a Giant Kingfisher suddenly plunged into the river and emerged with a large fish in its beak. The bird then alighted on a branch and proceeded to bash the poor fish against the branch until it was dead.
It then aligned the fish and swallowed it in one gulp.
Giant Kingfisher - Ceryle maxima
This is the largest Kingfisher in the region and is unmistakeable with its long, heavy bill, dark,
white-spotted back and rufous black-speckled chestnut breast. This Kingfisher rarely hovers, but plunges
directly into the water for its prey. It likes wooded streams and fast-flowing rivers.
