Diving kingfisher

[jtmed]

Captured this sequence of a giant kingfisher diving into the Chobe River. Taken from a small boat at 24fps. OOC crops.

I was surprised to see that it opens its beak just before it hits the water. Makes sense I guess. Unfortunately it did not catch a fish on this occasion.

Nice set and good job keeping the sharpness at that level while it's diving, it ain't easy.

I had to google Chobe River, that must have been quite the adventure.
