Media notes
Adult with prey. Remarks: As we were marching in the early hours of Big Bird Day there was a huge commotion - a Jungle Crow had set upon a Black-capped Kingfisher which not only dropped it's prey - a lizard, but also fell into the water itself, recovered and perched nearby, drying itself. Later, as we moved away, it recovered the dying lizard and flew off. It happened so fast and close to us we couldn't frame the action. Nevertheless attaching shots of two of the protagonists. - KSR.
