Kingfisher with a fish

Bad Luck

This murder took place on the beach of Drake Bay (Bahía Drake) which is in the north of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, right at the mouth of Rio Agujitas. It was closer on a tree with strong backlight from the sky before he suddenly took off. A moment later I noticed him on the rocks pretty far off. The flash was still on, but had absolutely no effect.  Sadly I did not witness the actual murder taking place or I would have posted that picture instead 🙂
