Lesser pied kingfisher
The Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle
rudis) is a water
kingfisher and is found widely distributed across Africa and Asia. Their
black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and
rivers before diving for fish makes it distinctive. Males have a double band
across the breast while females have a single gorget that is often broken in
the middle. They are usually found in pairs or small family parties. When
perched, they often bob their head and flick up their tail
