Oft-encountered “2” – kingfisher (#11 in series of south India single-image teasers)

 

 

On any day in well-wooded parts of southern India you can reasonably expect to see kingfishers, more than once.

They do not only eat fish.

Accordingly, trees overlooking ponds, lakes and rivers are not their only favoured places.

Wingless flight, Nagarhole Tiger Reserve (#3 in series of south India single-image teasers)

 

 

As you can see, India’s wild boar and spotted deer (aka “chital” or “axis deer”) are acutely aware that they rate highly on the list of tigers’ “preferred” prey!

The full list of tigers’ prey is long and sometimes-surprising; it ranges from termites to baby elephants.
