My Bird Photography #1

You don't have to be told that birds are one of the more exquisite creatures on our big beautiful planet.
Photographing birds anywhere and understanding their lifestyle has been my passion since last few years and there are thousands of species I could capture. Here are few of birds to share which belong to famous Kingfisher birds family.

The kingfisher lives around wooded rivers and lakes. To build nests, it digs rather deep holes, up to 1 meter, in steep banks. If the bird does not find a suitable place for nesting, the dwelling can be removed from the water at a decent distance, up to three hundred meters, when there is a suitable cliff in the reach zone.

The burrow ends in a round cave , where the female incubates the chicks. Kingfishers do not build nests as such; eggs are usually laid directly on the ground.

It is very difficult to see a kingfisher in the wild. Usually he looks out for prey, hiding in the foliage of trees hanging over the ground. There are rare cases when a bird hunts from a stump or branch sticking out of the water, then you can see the kingfisher in all its glory.

Thanks for stopping by.
