Common Kingfisher


This Common Kingfisher (all six inches of him) was a bright highlight of a boat ride along a canal near Colombo, Sri Lanka. Not only did he allow us to approach within about 8 ft., but he then plunged into the green water and came up with a wiggling 1-inch fish in his bill, and sat on his perch to bask in our admiration.
