He's been watching, he's been impatience, he's been hungry the whole time; the King Fisher shoot himself from the branch where he had been looking at his prey, he was not planing on missing it.
After one steep dive, with amazing speed and ability, the King Fisher piece right through the head of his lunch. By immediately opening up his wings, he lowered his speed. The King Fisher then swim up to the surface and fly away, enjoying his meal.
The photo was taken during the "brake" he made in order to reduce his momentum.

I was puzzled too, so I did a little digging. Still a great shot but this takes a bit of the magic out of it. You set up a tank with the fish below a Kingfisher perch, construct a "blind" and wait. I wanted to include the url but it won't let me so.....google "kingfisher fish picture trick". It's an article in the dailymail.co.uk
