EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Oriental dwarf kingfisher knows how to catch dinner in style at the Tongbiguan Nature Reserve. With its vibrant plumage and sharp beak, this little bird is a true predator of the river. Just look at that intense focus as it dives into the water, ready to snatch up its next meal. The fish doesn't stand a chance against this skilled hunter! Located in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, this reserve provides the perfect habitat for these beautiful birds. And lucky for us, photographer Staffan Widstrand was there to capture this incredible moment. The Oriental dwarf kingfisher belongs to the coraciiformes family and is known for its striking black-backed feathers and bright orange belly. It's no wonder they're often referred to as 'river jewels. ' This photo not only showcases their stunning beauty but also highlights their important role in maintaining balance within their ecosystem. As they feed on fish, they help control populations and ensure the health of rivers. So next time you visit Tongbiguan Nature Reserve, keep an eye out for these magnificent creatures. You might just witness another jaw-dropping display of nature's wonders!
