White Collared Kingfisher (Todiramphus chloris)
There were lots of clouds yesterday, I guess marking the start of the rainy season. Gloomy and humid weather at the high thirties. There wasn't much light for good exposures. But I was able to take a couple of pictures of kingfishers who i think are permanent residents of valley golf already.

1. Approach them very slowly. No sudden movements.
2. Stop and Go. Move then stop (when you stop for a while they will forget where you are)
3. They have good hearing, they can hear the reflex of the camera shutter even from a couple meters away.
4. They have very good vision, of course..they are hunters.
