Kingfisher - Alcedo atthis

Canon 400mm f6.3 for 1/800th @ iso400
This Kingfisher has speared the fish onto the end of its beak ! A fair amount of head shaking eventually got the fish into it's beak.
I have seen Kingfisher in this position before with leaves and even bits of plastic stuck on the end of their beaks.
