This darter uses its spear-like beak to catch stunned-looking fish as it hunts in a river. The expert fisher was snapped in the Keoladeo Ghana National Park in India by Mrinal Sen.<br /> <br /> The 49 year old financial consultant said, “Darters usually target small fish but they won’t miss a chance when a big catfish comes along.”<br /> <br /> “Darters are very fast when they hunt so it was very difficult to get these shots. My patience eventually paid off when I got these shots of the catching and tossing of a catfish.”<br /> <br /> “Winter season is a great time to watch and photograph these birds in action here.”<br /> <br /> Please byline: Mrinal Sen/Solent News<br /> <br /> © Mrinal Sen/Solent News & Photo Agency<br /> UK +44 (0) 2380 458800
