Thank you very much!
Exactly..Its such a tiny bird and I couldn't believe it could actually hunt down and fly with skinks and lizards that were so big! These birds are so smart that the naturalist was saying the type of kill really varies depending on how big the chicks are..These chicks were big and hungry so the morning feeds comprised of big lizards and skinks..as the day progressed, it used to bring smaller kills like spiders, crabs, crickets etc.
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot!
Very cool looking shot Gandesh! The prey is almost as big as the predatorOriental Dwarf Kingfisher - This bird is so tiny, just about the size of a hummingbird or perhaps a tad bigger but it had 4 hungry chicks to feed. It was working tirelessly throughout the day to keep feeding its chicks with a well rounded diet including lizards, skinks, spiders, crabs and crickets.
Thank you very much! Ya i guess the prey is most likely heavier than the bird . That's also the reason why they stay on the perch for a longer duration vs when they bring smaller insects where they fly almost immediately.Very cool looking shot Gandesh! The prey is almost as big as the predator
Thank you!
Thank you very much! I used a Nikon Z9 with Nikkor 500mm F4E lens with a TC1.4 attached, shot at 700mm.Fantastic image, Ganesh. This one is perfect in every way.
Tell us about the equipment used, please.
