We were still on the river as the sun started to sink below the western horizon, lighting the river with a magnificent orange glow, as this lone African Skimmer passed by dragging the lower mandible of his bill in the water, trawling for a small fish to eat. By dragging his bill in the water, it threw droplets of water into the air which sparkled like diamonds. and leaving the water drops.
