White Collared Kingfisher (Halcyon chloris)

---

This species of kingfisher is found in areas ranging from Ethiopia to India, southeastern China, Australia and the southwestern Pacific islands in a variety of habitats but most commonly in mangrove swamps. Perching on branches, it watches for prey, then swoops down to the swamp mud or dives into the water in pursuit of crabs and small fish, its main foods.
