This tiny kingfisher looks like a jewel hidden among the dense foliage of the tropical forest.
The Rufous-lored Kingfisher is a rare and elusive kingfisher found in the forests of Southeast Asia. Its distinctive rufous markings around the face contrast beautifully with its blue-green plumage, while its sturdy bill is perfectly suited for catching insects and other small prey. It spends much of its time quietly perched in the forest understory, making a sighting a special moment for any birdwatcher.
A secret jewel of the rainforest, proving that some of the most beautiful birds are also the hardest to find.
