Description
The white-breasted kingfisher, also known as Halcyon smyrnensis, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Asia from Turkey east through the Indian subcontinent to the Philippines. This species uses a wide variety of habitats including dams, ponds, canals, creeks, swamps, mudflats and beaches with coconut palms and trees. It feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents and even birds. It hunts from a perch and will batter prey before swallowing it. Many populations exhibit partial short-distance migration, with seasonal changes in abundance, probably involving mostly juveniles.
