White-throated Kingfisher



KingFisher.................................. Which is seen around my office i.e. Dombivali Industrial Area Post office, Dombivali since last 1.5 years. I observed that this bird has certain routine round daily because this bird was seen near my office round about 16.30 PM to 17.30 PM since last 1.5 years. The route was also fixed.
White-throated Kingfisher also known as the White-breasted Kingfisher or Smyrna Kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Eurasia from Bulgaria, Turkey, West Asia east through the Indian Subcontinent to the Philippines. This kingfisher is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short distance movements. It can often be found well away from water where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents and even birds.
The photos are taken with my Sony HX200v camera in the month of January 2013.
