The pied kingfisher is the largest bird that can hover.
They rely on fish for their diet.
Pinpointing the fish from the air is how they target their prey.
Sometimes the fish spots the kingfisher and flees.
So the pied kingfisher doesn't bother to dive.
But not every fish is lucky.
When they dive bombing from the air, they would catch the fish and carry it in their mouth to eat it.
