Bird Watching in Nepal
The oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a pocket-sized bird. This tropical bird is a partial migrant that is endemic across much of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It generally dwells in lowland forests like in Terai (Koshi Tappu, Chitwan, Bardiya, Parsa etc.), typically near streams or ponds, where it feeds upon insects, spiders, worms, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards. This small bird is easily distinguishable from other birds in its range due to its red bill, yellow-orange underparts, lilac-rufous upperparts, and blue-black back.
