“Last week was the Black-Backed Kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca) also known as Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher and today it was the male Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) caught throwing out a pellet.
“(I shoot at continuous mode and in my observation, it seems that it swallowed back the pellet before it threw it out.).”
Our earlier posts of pellet casting by the Common Kingfisher can be viewed at these links: LINK 1, LINK 2 and LINK 3.
