Pied Kingfisher.
06th February 2026
These birds are common throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia from Turkey to India to China. They are resident, and most birds do not migrate, other than short-distance seasonal movements.
A medium sized kingfisher with a striking black and white plumage, anyone travelling in these countries would expect to see these birds.
From a paddy field in China, an African watering hole or alongside a fisherman on the Nile, these birds will be present.
Being ubiquitous doesn't make you unattractive though.
