Alcedo atthis
Small kingfisher, turquoise head (with spots), wings and back; white throat; buff chest, belly and "ear"; long, sharp beak.
The COMMON KINGFISHER is not so common in Singapore anymore. A fishing specialist, this one sat on the stump and periodically stretched and scrunched his neck, possibly trying to swallow a fish. Also known as Eurasian Kingfisher or River Kingfisher.
