Observation details
The pair seem to have taken up residence in a neighbouring compound but come fishing in our pond. Today the larger one (probably male) made two successful dives. The smaller one tried to take the fish from the larger one's bill but the attempt was resisted and the fish was swallowed by it. After the second fish was caught the larger on was constantly calling, perhaps asking the mate to come. However the other bird did not come so this one flew to the neighbour's compound and continued calling till I went out at 7.45 am. The video of the bird calling with the fish in its bill is here
