Pied Kingfisher after a brisk dive...

Pied Kingfisher / లకుముకి పిట్ట
As the name denotes, Kingfishers feed mainly on Fish, apart from enjoying quick-bites like crustaceans and large aquatic insects such as dragonfly larvae. 
Expert hunter / fisher,  hovering over the water to detect prey and diving vertically down to capture fish. When not in active fishing mode, they have a straight rapid flight, as fast as 32 mph

I have got nothing to do with the Shitty affair (under me)

Common Kingfisher / నీళ్ళబుచ్చిగాడు / లకుముకి పిట్ట / చల్లకవ్వపు పిట్ట
As the name denotes, expert in fishing, live predominantly near the water-bodies / shallow water.. 

Before eating its prey, the bird holds it by its tail and whack it to death against the perch, as the live fish may extend its fins in the bird's throat, choking it, sometimes to death. 

Common Kingfishers are highly territorial because they are to eat about 60% of their body weight a day. They fiercely defend their territories, even from their mates and offspring. As a part of it, they perform a ritual display perched some distance from each other. This involves displaying feathers and beaks, accompanied by whistling. Usually the dispute is resolved without actual combat. But in rare instances, combatants will lock beaks and attempt to drown each other.
