Ulu Paip, Kulim, April 2011
Among the less common of Kingfishers in Malaysia, a friend invited me on a trip to Ulu Paip to watch & photograph this rarely seen Kingfisher… Low light conditions make photographing this quick bird a tough challenge….
This bird is a very accomplished hunter…..diving into the fast stream and catching preys like this one….
I was caught by surprised when the bird showed up briefly, with a lizard in the mouth, unfortunately I only managed just this single, very poor shot…..now I know that Blue-Banded Kingfishers feed on both marine as well as land animals.
