A reunion with the Indigo-banded Kingfisher

[gpx4]

Is it possible that this bird can be also be found at UP? I tried checking out the UP this afternoon and i think i shot a bird like this, but it was 120 meters away so i could not even get half frame.

Hi Raffy,

If at UP-Diliman, what you photographed might be the similar-looking and similarly-sized (just a tad larger) Common Kingfisher, like this one:




The IBKF ranges in "clear fresh water streams up to at least 1500 m". The IBKF is also found in another UP - in Los Banos.

Yes you are right. It's a Common Kingfisher
