Colorful Fridays....

A bird with beautiful contrasting colors
One of my favorites Blue and Orange....
Its the Common Kingfisher .

 Its a sparrow sized bird with a short tail and a large head . It has blue upperparts and orange underparts and a long bill .
While rambling in wild heard a short sharp whistle and I knew that the king was around ....Finally I spotted the electric blue'' flash'' whirring its rounded wings rapidly.

''As he sits on a branch

And is ever alert

He’ll wait and watch

Then dive with a spurt''






Happy Birding..
