This is my 23rd Birdcarvingwork of Ruddy Kingfisher. (Akashobin)The Ruddy Kingfisher is a medium-sized tree kingfisher which is widely distributed
in east and southeast Asia.
Reaching approximately 25cm, the Ruddy Kingfisher has a very large, bright red bill
and equally red legs. The body is rust red, generally deepening to purple at the tail.
Like other kingfishers, Ruddy Kingfishers generally feed on fish, crustaceans, and
large insects, though in areas with less running water, they are known to take frogs
and other amphibians.
