[BirdPhotoIndia] Kesariya Baalam Aavo Ni, Padharo Mhare Des

Name of Species: Ceyx Erithacus
Common Name: 
Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher
Family: Alcedinidae 
Conservation status: Least Concerned
Photographed: 29th May, 2011
Location: Yeoor Range, Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Camera: OLYMPUS SP570UZ
Lens: OLYMPUS ED LENS AF ZOOM 4.6 - 92 mm, 1:2.8 - 4.6

My commonly understood concept got defeated today, when I saw this KF just near a water pool in hill forest of Yeoor, SGNP. There is mention in Krys`s book that this bird is seen in shady streams or water pools in broad leaved forests and that is where the magic happened...the first sighting of this season is being reported in this pic, just before the onset of monsoon.
