There was this nest of Blue eared Kingfishers where the pair would take turns bringing food for the brood. I had taken pictures earlier in the same locality of the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher , which delighted me by bringing all kinds of prey - praying mantis , skinks , small toads , small crabs , lizards - any and everything . This species though , brought only fish.

A beautiful image and a nice BG to go with the bright colors. Looks almost like a studio shot! You couldn't ask for more!

Great to have the two KF's at about the same place. This is excellent!
