Male Rufous-Collared Kingfisher

1st August 2010, Kemensah, Selangor

His call could be heard loud and clear just as I finished parking  the jeep  beside the trail. I immediately went searching for the source of the sound and saw him on a nearby tree. He called non-stop for almost 20 minutes even when I was taking his photos.  The previous sighting of this species was almost exactly a year ago, and it was a female.

Poor fella had lost a few of his tail feathers. Not to worry, he’ll get it back soon.

  2. One of my favourite kingfishers!
    I've found a male bird once in Borneo. He was giving a loud call like this as well.
