World Environment Day


On this Occasion of "World Environment Day" which is observed on June 5th, I take the opportunity to remind our responsibility and raise the awareness towards the positive environmental action to protect nature and earth.
White-throated Kingfisher / నీళ్ళబుచ్చిగాడు / లకుముకిపిట్ట / చల్లకవ్వపుపిట్ట
Large sized (25 cm) in the Kingfisher family, unlike its other family members found even away from the water bodies and in the Urban areas as their food includes a diversified range like insects, earthworms, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, crabs and sometimes smaller birds.
While the breeding season - Monsoon, the male perches on a high post and starts calling, displaying its wings flicked open and sometimes raises the bill to display the white throat. The female in reciprocation and invitation makes a rapid and prolonged kit-kit-kit sound..
