Waiting for a Catch, by Masudur Rahman

This colorful small kingfisher is one of the most beautiful birds of Bangladesh. I took this photograph at Faillatoli sea beach, Chittagong, when I was taking a short rest in the middle of my birding tour. This small kingfisher was sitting on the branch of a tree near a pond, and waiting for hunting fish.
