Fish Nabs Bird in Flight - Rare video

Migrating birds face many dangers on their travels and Swallows wintering in Africa, feeding low over water on insects, have a recently documented danger to watch out for. Members of the Hydrocynus genus of fish, popularly known as Tigerfish (familiar to anyone who watches extreme fishing programmes on television), are found throughout Africa and are large and ferocious predators. This recent video footage shows Tigerfish taking Swallows out of the air as the birds make their characteristic low swoops over the water.
