Kingfisher Bird
The park is home to eight different species of kingfisher
The park is home to eight different species of kingfisher of which the brown-winged (mostly found in eastern India and southwestern Bangladesh), the black-capped and the collared (found along coastal areas) are the most sought after for birders.
Sighting Brown-winged Kingfisher, Black-capped Kingfisher, and Collared Kingfisher birds were the icing on the cake. We had heard of these birds sighted along the Zuari river estuary in Goa too but there are no organized regular boat trips here.
The best place to sight birds is the lower branches of the mangroves along the creek. Just keep your fingers crossed that they don’t fly away or hide behind the leaves.
