Chris: Congrats Krish on the first upload of this species.
Krish: Thank you, Chris. These birds are resident, so they are around all year but, strangely, seen only during a short period of a month or so in July during the rainy season.

Chris: Stunning species.
Krish: Thanks, Chris. It's sometimes referred to, locally, as the Orange-headed Ground Thrush. Probably, because we mostly see it on the ground

Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher (7)

Ceyx erithaca

📍 Map

Details: adult

They are one of the smallest kingfishers in the world. Roughly the size of a mid-sized hummingbird.
Male and female. This is probably shortly after mating, during nest-building. They nest in a hole that they dig in a vertical mud wall, in dark, covered river/stream beds. Thus, the bits of mud on their beaks. Incubation and feeding are done by both parents.
