King with a kill I had to come into work early this morning, so brought my gear with me incase a good opportunity to procrastinate presented itself... and well it did. I tried to get the 'dive', missing it each time, but got this nice shot with the frog in beak! :) Geotagged,Halcyon smyrnensis,India,NCBS,White-throated kingfisher,Winter,adhocphotographer,bangalore,gkvk,india,instem,john rowell Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
