Happiness is a fresh tilapia in your beak.

I wonder if Fish Eagles prefer tilapia over catfish like I do....

Pied Kingfisher- Lake Baringo, Kenya

Quite a big fish for a small bird. From my observations, Kingfishers swallow their catch whole. The can spend some time whacking the fish against a branch or rock to kill or stun it prior to ingestion- though they seem to have some difficulty telling head from tail- often as not smacking the tail.... As tilapia have erectile spiny dorsal fins a relaxed meal has obvious advantages.....
