Whitethroated Kingfisher, Khandya
Striking turquoise blue with deep chocolate head, neck and underparts, offset by sparkling white "shirts" front. Long, heavy, pointed red bill.
Harsh, cackling call "kek-kek-kek-kek", usally uttred in flight. Often found away from water. Feeds on lizards, snakes as well as aquatic prey
