Kingfisher; Martín Pescador

Thats hands full of information. Thank u for sharing

Thanks Reza and António.
@ PramodCL , being the only Kingfisher in Western Europe it is invariably known simply as Kingfisher, the same rule applying to most other European birds. The prefixes Common, European and Eurasian were added relatively recently when the Americans produced worldwide lists, such as Clements, and added these words to differentiate from their own birds which they had given the same names when they colonised America.
Common names are just that, they are what is commonly used in each individuals own country and not what some else wants to call them.
Project Noah uses only the Scientific name for formal identification and searches, and users are free to use whatever name they are used to in whatever language they are used to in the Common Name field.
Common names go back thousands of years in some instances, and the word "Kingfisher" on its own has been in use since the twelfth century.
"When Noah freed the animals from the ark after the deluge, a Kingfisher was the first to fly away. He got the orange of the setting sun on his breast and the blue of the azure sky on his back." A quote from Glynn Anderson in this book "Birds of Ireland", a great read on the history of bird names in Ireland.
