probably a kingfisher - 2008/08/22 19:29 could anyone please educate me on this? I have no photos because the rascals are way too fast for me to take their photographs - it seems as if they know that I am taking out my camera and "poof" gone they are, but:


a bird, with a beak like a kingfisher, the size and build of a kingfisher, but, with deep blue wings and a spotted brown/white chest...

what could that be? I thought a species of the Kingfisher - but I would really like to be sure...


anyone?

I think you're probably right. There are so many Kingfisher varieties there, it's bound to be one of them. Maybe you can find it on this page - my guess would be a Spotted Kingfisher, but the picture here is poor quality. Anyway, here's hoping you can locate yours here:

Re:probably a kingfisher - 2008/09/24 06:48 Thank you, DocCee I see now it is a 'common kingfisher' - Thanks to the first link you placed. I -in the meanwhile since the post above- managed to get a photo of him
