«Yo no tenía ningún cliente ese día, así que estaba conduciendo en mi Land Cruiser en busca de fauna interesante para fotografiar», Sheridan-Johnson said.
«En nueve años de guía de safaris nunca imaginé ver este insólito comportamiento.
«He visto al águila pescadora en el banco de arena con algo en el pico.
«Me di cuenta que no era un pez, and that it was actually a West Nile crocodile. The Eagle was quickly removed from the objective but I have a couple of shots of the same flying.
«Creo que esto podría ser águila solitaria que ha aprendido a cazar cocodrilos.
«Sin duda, sabía lo que estaba haciendo».
