The common kingfisher is a brightly coloured and fascinating bird. The number of these little blue kingfishers is just a handful in our abode. The reason being most of our small water bodies and local streams runs dry during the summer months. Apart from the few fish found in our water bodies, these kingfishers have to depend on other forms of food such as frogs, small crabs and the occasional dragonfly. 
Common Kingfisher is a resident bird. These birds are normally found at our lake site and dams.
