The rufous-backed kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa) is a species of bird in the Alcedinidae family. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand in tropical lowland forests near lakeshores and streamsides. The small bird is solitary and hunts from a low perch over the water by diving for insects and frogs. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Oriental dwarf kingfisher.

Never knew they "stabbed" their prey. That is a gorgeous bird and certainly an exceptional image. Very well done.

That is one gorgeous bird Paulo .. and what a superb shot !! Wonderful capture - I too would be absolutely delighted with that one.

I have a few shots of the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher from Sabah, but not anywhere close to as good as the above. Delightful tiny birds.

Excellent colors Paolo. The skewered fish is a big bonus.
