Common Kingfisher is a beautiful small kingfisher found in the forested streams and rivers in Corbett Tiger Reserve. True to its name, the species masters the art of picking up fish from the water.
This individual was lucky to pick a relatively big fish, though it struggled to swallow it. The fish was repeatedly hit on the rock to stun it.
The video was shot by Jim’s Jungle Retreat Chief Naturalist Manoj Sharma at Bijrani Tourism Zone, located not too far from Jim’s Jungle Retreat.
