Am back from vacation and find my garden turned into a sanctuary with the arrival of spring. Look who visited my garden....A White Throated Kingfisher, i am finding this pair almost everyday since last three days....
This bird is about the size of myna, brilliant turquoise blue above, with deep chocolate brown head neck and under parts. A conspicuous white shirt front and long, heavy, pointed red beak confirm its identity. A large white patch on the black wings shows up in flight. It can be seen far away from water as it depends most on small landlubbing prey.
he does have a serious looking beak, doesn't he?!
ReplyDeletelove the blue colouring.
ya he is....they in flight are more adorable to watch......
