RUFOUS BACKED KINGFISHER V24

BURUNG PEKAKA API 

Rufous Backed Kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa)

The Rufous-backed Kingfisher  is a dazzling, small bird native to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is a gem of tropical rainforests, often near small streams and mangroves.

This kingfisher measures about 13–15 cm in length, making it one of the smallest species of kingfishers. Its plumage is a vibrant blend of colors: an orange-red back, wings with hints of purple, a bright yellow-orange belly, and a striking red bill. The combination of these hues gives it a fiery, glowing appearance.

Rufous-backed Kingfishers are skillful hunters, preying on small fish, insects, and amphibians. They dive quickly into water or vegetation to catch their prey, showcasing their precision and agility.
