A breeding Ruddy Kingfisher on the forest road. It caught a large Joro spider, beat it against a branch to kill it, then carried it off to the nest. The female was nowhere to be seen.

A Ruddy Kingfisher breeding in the park perched on a branch in front of the nest. It had brought in a large grasshopper, so the chicks seem to be developing well. ^^ For a bird that actually breeds inside the park, this individual is remarkably wary.

The male Ruddy Kingfisher I found on the other night's nocturnal walk. It was borderline in the dark, but it was indeed a male. ^^

A male Ruddy Kingfisher coming to bathe in a small stream. The light was poor, so the ruffled feathers have gone a bit soft in the image… ^^;

Same individual as above. No sign of a paired female here either.
