Chloroceryle inda

Chloroceryle inda, also known as Green-and-rufous Kingfisher, is a species of kingfisher.

The brown bellies are fish-eating kingfishers with excellent diving skills and can even hover in the air to lock on to their targets. They live mainly by the river and fish for a living. It lives in brush or open forest, clear and slow-flowing rivers, streams, lakes and irrigation canals. It often flies over rivers, streams, ponds and swamps looking down for food. As soon as you spot food, make a quick dive. Usually live alone on the top of a tree branch near the water, the top of a telephone pole or on a rock, waiting for an opportunity to hunt. It usually squatts on the low branches and stones near the water, waiting for bait. The method of hunting is the same as that of the kingfisher, which often preys on the surface of the water or dives into the water to hunt. Sometimes they can even disappear completely under water; Sometimes it flaps its wings and stops flying in the air about 3-10 meters from the water, as if hanging on the water, and when it sees the prey, it immediately dives into the water to hunt it. It puts the catch on the perch, and keeps fiddling with it, and even throws the fish up in order to swallow the fish from the head first. The food is mainly small fish, and eats crustaceans and a variety of aquatic insects and their larvae, but also pecks at small frogs and a few aquatic plants.

The brown-bellies usually nest on earth cliffs, or in the dykes of fields and streams and rivers, and use their mouths to dig tunnelled burrows for nests, which are generally free of bedding. The eggs are laid directly on the nest ground. Each clutch lays 3-5 eggs. Egg color pure white, bright, solid shell, slightly spotted.
