Kingfisher's catch of the day (Todiramphus chloris armstrongi)

A juvenile(?) Collared Kingfisher with its recently caught crab at Tan Thanh beach, Tien Giang, Vietnam.
I was driving along this beach the other day when I spotted a pair of these, perching patiently on this wooden post. The midday sunlight was so intense that I was able to get away with a shutter speed of 1/2500, which I normally reserve for birds in flight.
