Pham Hung (from Ho Chi Minh City) shared that he took a series of photos of kingfishers at a garden cafe in Hoa Hung ward. He observed that the kingfisher often perched on a branch by the lake, intently watching the water's surface before suddenly diving straight down like an arrow. In an instant, the kingfisher snatched a small fish and soared back up, leaving him amazed by the speed and precision of this bird.
Mr. Hung said that while he was sitting drinking coffee, he suddenly saw a kingfisher appear, so he took a small fish and let it catch and eat it. The bird he filmed lives in the wild, not raised by the coffee shop owner.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hoai Bao, representative of the migratory bird conservation program in Vietnam of the international organization Birdlife International, kingfishers, also known as kingfishers, come in many different species. They are relatively small compared to other species in the same family. When flying, they reveal bright blue feathers down the middle of their backs.

Kingfishers typically fly continuously in one spot searching for food, are tame, and often perch near the water's surface.

The moment when a kingfisher hunts for its own food in a lotus pond in Thu Duc ward, Ho Chi Minh City was captured by Mr. Hung. To get satisfactory photos, he had to take many times and not every time it was easy to capture interesting moments.
