Common kingfisher

Common kingfisher. 

Among my friends, also known as “the Blue Bullet” 🙂 

The upper side of the head of the male is dark green with transverse blue stripes /as pictured/. 

It flies low over the water, waving its wings fast and making a squeaky sound. 

Often, it is fixed perched on a branch, leaning low over the water or on the stones. 

It feeds on small fish that catch on the water surface, aquatic insects and their larvae, molluscs and small amphibians.
