The dry season tightens its grip on Gorongosa.

The rivers drop to just a few inches.

Small fish rocket from the water pursued by ravenous catfish.

Their acrobatic escape acts buy them a little time.

But their bell tolls when the skies darken above them.

Thousands of storks, cranes and pelicans arrive for their annual feast.

Each uses a different technique for the job.

Some stab and impale.

Some trawl.

Some hunt in packs.
