Seen on 13 Dec'18 at Kuching waterfront area (Astana-side) |
Malays call the bird 'Pekaka Mas'. I was lucky on 13 December,2018. While enjoying the scenery at the Kuching waterfront (on the Astana side) my attention was caught by a Stork-billed Kingfisher that was intent on catching fish in the river below. It was perching patiently on the branch of the mangrove tree called "Pedada' in Sarawak. This is the first time that I come very close to a Stork-billed Kingfisher, approximately 20 meters distance away. So here's some evidences for the file.
