About These Birds
Gürtelfischer
Der Gürtelfischer ist insofern ungewöhnlich, als das Weibchen bunter gefärbt ist als das Männchen und ein zusätzliches rostrotes Brustband trägt. Diese lauten Vögel kündigen ihr Revier mit einem markanten, ratternden Ruf an. Mit ihren kräftigen Schnäbeln graben sie bis zu 2,4 Meter tiefe Bruthöhlen in Flussufer.
Black-capped Kingfisher
The Black-capped Kingfisher is a Vulnerable, vividly colored kingfisher of South and Southeast Asian coasts and wetlands, with a striking black cap, white collar, blue-purple upperparts, and rufous underparts. It breeds in East Asia and winters south to South and Southeast Asia along coastal mangroves, tidal flats, and wetland margins. It feeds on fish, crabs, and large insects.
