Philippine Dwarf-Kingfisher [ melanurus ]
I find this photo interesting because it's only now that I realise that this little fellow can turn it's head almost 180 degrees. It really show that Kingfishers has a flexible and strong neck muscle. Besides their ability to do so , they smash their prey like lizard , small crabs and other insects on hard surfaces to immobilise and kill using this neck muscle.
