Did the kingfisher grasp the fish, or spear it as if intending to eat it?
I don't think kingfishers stab when taking a fish from the pond, and that's why I think they could move fish around. Accidentally or on purpose? I don't know, I can't read their minds. But I think the scenario is possible at times.

I am with you on this. That's why I mentioned it in the above post..
