KINGFISHER 3/13 - Stork-billed Kingfisher


Another new KF for my collection.This one caught at the FRIM Kepong wetland lake. Humongous of a  KF upto 37cm that is more than a feet. It's red bill is the dominating of them all. Found mainly at seashore and mudflats but also open swampy and wide river banks. Its call is a monotonous  toad-like croak unlike the chattery white-throated.

Updated with two new photos shot at a closed range of 40 ft at Malim Nawar 12.18. This is the peninsula subspecie with a darker head compared to the Bornean
These are my best photos so far of this bird. Shot with the Fuji XT2 using  beanbag from the car window ledge.
