Kingfisher

British store group

A kingfisher is a brightly colored bird with a large head, long sharp bill, and short tail, found near water where it dives for fish.

The plumage is typically brilliant blue or green.

Despite the name, many kingfisher species eat insects and small reptiles rather than fish.
