A dramatic fish-eye view shows life from beneath the surface - as a hidden underwater camera captures the moment a kingfisher dives from above to catch its next meal. The hidden GoPro camera shows the last peaceful seconds of the fish swimming along beneath the water's glassy surface - just before one of them becomes lunch for the agile kingfisher. The tiny bird, which measures no taller than 20cm, is captured from two different angles as it prepares to swiftly dive down into the water to scoop up an unsuspecting fish. Wildlife photographer Will Hall, 26, stood and watched with his DSLR camera at the ready as the female bird perched on a tree branch just above the water, surveying the still surface below her.
