Photographer's Note
White Breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis)or Smyrna Kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Eurasia from Bulgaria, Turkey, east through South Asia to the Philippines. 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 from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas or on wires.

A great shot of the kingfisher bird with its grasshopper
razor sharp shot, luminous with splendid colors and an excellent neutral BG on which the bird stands out perfectly
