Pied kingfisher - Wildlife Sri Lanka
Taken handheld at Kumana NP Sri Lanka.
Thank you so much for dropping by my photostream and leaving all the kind comments. They are very much appreciated.
Stay safe and healthy everyone.
FACTS:
Boldly marked black-and-white kingfisher with short, bushy crest and glossy all-dark bill. Superficially similar to Crested Kingfisher, but smaller, with much more distinctly patterned head and breast and less erect crest. Frequently seen perched in pairs or small groups. Often hovers over water when seeking prey. Inhabits a wide range of waterside habitats, from lakes to estuaries to mangroves. (Merlin)
