GRASP the opportunity when it comes along... this was the case with a kingfisher making sure his fish is facing the right way before it disappears down the hatch.
He tossed the fish with a calculated spin, making sure it’s head first – tail first, and sharp fin bones would be stuck in its gullet.
When the birds are feeding chicks, ‘Head First’ is a vital rule, if they get it wrong the chicks would almost certainly perish.
