his is probably the most fascinating bird that occurs in Namibia, at least as far as their hunting/ fishing methods are concerned. They are skimming the water with accuracy and precision with their flexible orange red bill only 2-5 centimetres below the surface for fish that might have the audacity to come up that close. They use their lower mandible, which is longer than the upper one, with hyper-sensitivity to “feel “ their target, not seeing it, because most of their fishing takes place at dawn and at night (crepuscular). Within that split second of touching they close their bill
