Summary
DescriptionWhite Throated Kingfisher Stare (7021151099).jpg |
SAW THIS COLOURFUL BIRD SITTING ON A BRANCH OF A TREE AS I WAS BOATING IN THE RIVER. IT GAVE ME A VERY HARD STARE. HANDHELD. The White Throated Kingfisher (Halcyon Smyrnensis) also known as the White-breasted Kingfisher or Smyrna Kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Eurasia from Bulgaria, Turkey, east through South Asia to the Philippines. This kingfisher is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short distance movements. It can often be found well away from water where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents and even birds. During the breeding season they call loudly in the mornings from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas or on wires. This is a large kingfisher, 28 cm in length. The adult has a bright blue back, wings and tail. Its head, shoulders, flanks and lower belly are chestnut, and the throat and breast are white. The large bill and legs are bright red. The flight of the White-throated Kingfisher is rapid and direct, the short rounded wings whirring. In flight, large white patches are visible on the blue and black wings. Sexes are similar, but juveniles are a duller version of the adult. A VERY SHY BIRD AND DIFFICULT TO SNAP. |
