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!
Pied Kingfisher (In flight)
White-throated Kingfisher
While we were waiting in the safari Jeep for a sighting of a leopard, this Kingfisher offered a sideshow, picking up a juicy frog from the pond.
Pied Kingfisher (leucomelanura ♂)
Grey-headed Kingfisher
