Field Notes

Description:

In West Bengal India the White throated kingfisher is thought to eat fish but it has caught a big lizard.

Habitat:

Near water bodies.

Notes:

It ate the entire lizard in series of jerky movements...I thought it would choke. My zoom was maxed out, sorry about the image quality.
