About Common Kingfisher
The Common Kingfisher is a sparrow-sized bird with a typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile. It boasts blue upperparts, orange underparts, and a long bill. This bird primarily feeds on fish, caught by diving, and has unique visual adaptations to spot prey underwater. Its glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.
