Stork-billed Kingfisher
Stayed two days in a campsite in Agumbe. Typical of the monsoon season, it rained incessantly for those days. In one small window of time when it stopped raining, this Stork-billed Kingfisher sat on his perch and called out loudly, and made my day!

The backlight on this photo is masking the colors of the Sacred Kingfisher. Spotted many individuals during our roadtrip, but unlike in my home country, it's very hard to stop and take pictures.
