Basking White-Throated Kingfisher, by Masudur Rahman

It was a cold morning. Just after waking up I looked through my window, and found this beautifully colored bird on a tree, making itself warm under the sunshine. The White-Throated Kingfisher is widely found in Eurasia, from Bulgaria, Turkey, West Asia, to the Indian Subcontinent, and as well as Philippines. This is famous for its fighting spirit against other big birds.
