The White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon
smyrnensis) also known as the White-breasted Kingfisher or Smyrna
Kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Eurasia from Bulgaria, Turkey,
east through South Asia to the Philippines. This kingfisher is a
resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short
distance movements. It can often be found well away from water where it feeds
on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small
rodents and even birds. During the breeding season they call loudly in the
mornings from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas
or on wires.
