White-throated kingfisher

Halcyon smyrnensis

Spotting Image 1

Description:

A.k.a. White-breasted kingfisher

Notes:

With change of the surroundings animals and birds try to adapt to the existing situation. This king fisher sits low on to the shaking cable - due to wind - running across the river.

Hi DrNamgyalT.Sherpa
In order to assure the accurate information on PN, I took a liberty to curate your spotting, and add the ID and some references.
Hope you don't mind my intervention.
Cheers
