Kingfishers preserved in ice, discovered by a priest in Weisendoft, northern Bavaria. It is assumed that either they could no longer find the exit while underwater, or the hole froze over quickly.

From Australian Geographic Image Of The Week; July 9, 2015:
Flight of Fancy Sacred Kingfisher
Brodie JamesThis week’s reader photo was taken by Brodie in Queensland:
“This pair of juvenile Sacred Kingfishers (Todiramphus sanctus) had only just left the nest a couple of hours before landing here. At the time of the photograph both birds could only fly very slowly and would tire quickly. You can see one bird here stretching his wing after an exhausting 20m flight and sitting close to his sibling, posing perfectly for a photo,” he said.

This is the dramatic moment a kingfisher nearly drowned after a snake it tried to eat fought back and dragged it underwater by the neck. The incredible battle was captured by amateur photographer Nitin Jain, 38, while he was admiring the wildlife in Pune, India. During the minute-long battle the ferocious Keelback snake can be seen thrashing out of the water, grabbing the kingfisher around the neck and dunking it back under the water multiple times.
