The moment kingfishers dart like arrows, hunting prey with incredible speed in Ho Chi Minh City.

Recently, the pond area in a cafe in Ho Chi Minh City has attracted many people who come to photograph the moment kingfishers dive into the water to hunt for prey with incredible speed.

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.

According to Hung, while he was sitting and drinking coffee, he was surprised to see a kingfisher appear, so he took a small fish and released it for the bird to catch and eat. The bird he filmed lives in the wild and is not owned 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.
