The king of fishers, here he is.

I shared my surprise at seeing Moorhens catching fish a while ago, and this time I will share the Kingfisher and some Gulls also catching fish.

First up is the Pied Kingfisher (5 shots), and then the Gulls (5 shots). We have 10 species of Kingfishers here and the biggest one is called the Giant Kingfisher, which I have posted a long time ago. The smallest one is called the Striped Kingfisher, and I do not have him on camera yet. They are masters when it comes to catching fish, and there is lots of finesse in their actions.
Let us see what Wikipedia has to say about the Pied Kingfisher.

The pied kingfisher is the only member of the genus Ceryle. Molecular analysis shows it is an early offshoot of the lineage that gave rise to American kingfishers of the genus Chloroceryle. The pied kingfisher was initially believed to be descended from an ancestral American green kingfisher which crossed the Atlantic Ocean about one million years ago. A more recent suggestion is that the pied kingfisher and the American green kingfishers are derived from an Old World species, with the pied kingfisher or its ancestor losing the metallic colouration afterwards.
