A collection of the finest photographic images captured by CCAfrica rangers and guides. Can any WildWatch readers shed some light on this. Q - I have two Giant Kingfishers living in my garden in Johannesburg. The Giant Kingfisher is the world's largest kingfisher, alongside the Laughing Kookaburra of Australia. Giants feed primarily on freshwater crabs, frogs and fish up to about 20cm in length.
Pairs probably mate for life and vigorously defend territories along rivers or lake shores.
I have once seen Giant Kingfishers plunging into the surf on the Transkei coast, probably hunting marine crabs. Remember, our editor will be happy to answer any of your wildlife queries, and a selection of these will be featured in each issue.
