9th March 2012, Sedim, Kedah |
Local Name: Pekaka BukitScientific Name: Alcedo euryzona peninsulaeA male Blue-banded Kingfisher was hunting near a small waterfall. Compared to other places the chances of seeing this Kingfisher are better in the northern states of the peninsular, and that was where I found this little guy. Sitting quietly on the rocky river bank, he would dive down to catch small fishes.

This is a good find. I have only recorded this species at Ulu Paip but not Sedim. Great images by the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mun,
DeleteWhat a little jewel of a bird!
ReplyDeleteYes Wilma, He's a real beauty.
DeleteBeautiful shot! Madi ...but I want yr MP & the Ruddy in Air Itam
ReplyDeleteThat Ruddy still managed to elude my camera. I think the Mangrove Pittas are still there but be careful cause they might be nesting now.
