This is purely a behavioural image. My friends, the Pied Kingfishers. They will sit on a perch and scan the water for fish. Once spotted, they dive down straight into the water, catch their fish, and fly back up to a perch. They hold the fish in their beak for a while, then they start to bash it against the perch. This way, they are making it softer to swallow. They literally swing it from side to side, as the image shows. Notice the closing of the nictitating membrane. They hold for a while longer, then down the hatch it goes. Hope I didnt bore you.
