10,000 Birds
MARCH 18, 2020
We remained inside our vehicle as ethical observation always is our first priority. We counted seven of these alluring birds while I killed my camera battery.

A kingfisher with a somewhat deficient work ethic, I guess. Like other kingfishers, Blue-eared Kingfishers nest in excavated tunnels – but compared to other kingfishers, these tunnels seem to be quite short with an average length of only 25 cm.

All animals would be kept in battery conditions and the righteous vegetarians would exert no economic pressure on farmers to change their ways.
