White Breasted Kingfisher

White breasted kingfisher.

A biggest kingfisher I ever seen.

From the size of the logs, the kingfisher appears rather large.

The bird is standing tall, but it does look big, in particular the huge beak. It would have been great if you could have been closer and got a good closeup.

Look forward to more..

My all efforts of getting closer were marred by this bird. It maintained exactly around 25-30 ft distance from me. I had run for around 500 meters behind it.

Sagar,
Next time try a hide. Also try crawling. :D

Cheers,

That bill looks unusually huge... as if the bill of a STORK BILLED KINGFISHER was glued to the body of a white breasted...:-D
