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. During the breeding season they call loudly in the mornings This is a large kingfisher, 27–28 cm (10.6–11.0 in) in length. The adult has a bright blue back, wings and tail. Its head, shoulders, flanks and lower belly are chestnut, and the throat and breast are white. The large bill and legs are bright red. The flight of the white-throated kingfisher is rapid and direct, the short rounded wings whirring. In flight, large white patches are visible on the blue and black wings.

Green Bee eater in flight

Asian Green Beeater in Flight: It is resident but prone to seasonal movements and is found widely distributed across Asia from coastal southern Iran east through the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam.

They are mainly insect eaters and they are found in grassland, thin scrub and forest often quite far from water. Several regional plumage variations are known and several subspecies have been named.

Like other species in the genus, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and ants, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch. Before swallowing prey, a bee-eater removes stings and breaks the exoskeleton of the prey by repeatedly thrashing it on the perch.

TRIcolored Munia in flight series

Tricolored Munia: The tricoloured munia (Lonchura malacca) is an estrildid finch, native to Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and southern China This species, like the chestnut munia has been known as the black-headed munia. Immature birds have pale brown upperparts, lack the dark head found in adults, and have uniform buff underparts that can be confused with immatures of other munias such as the scaly-breasted munia Like many birds the Tricolored Munia has a unique mating ritual between males and females. Just as many birds, these birds court with song and dance, however, the courtship first starts with the male flying about with a length of grass in its beak. Then he will perch next to a female, drop the blade of grass, and begin its dance. The male will bob its head up and down and as it becomes more energetic the male will start jumping up the perch. His posture will consist of being upright, with his head down, mouth open and belly feathers standing up. This mating dance is followed up by a mating song which is very quiet to the human ear. If a female accepts the courtship she will lower herself to an almost horizontal position with both tail and head turned towards the male, consenting to coition.

Black Kite

Black Kite: The Black Kite Milvus migrans is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which includes hawks and eagles. But despite its noble features, in the eyes of the public it is often considered one of the most inferior birds in this group.


Unlike others of the group, black kites are opportunistic hunters and are more likely to scavenge. They spend much time soaring and gliding in thermals in search of food. Their angled wing and distinctive forked tail make them easy to identify. They are also vociferous with a shrill whinnying call.
