Kingfisher arrived late after the black-naped Oriole, Sat Mar 9, 2019

As I reached the 2nd exercise area, the two trees were bare of birds. No kingfisher this time at around 8.15 am. "Can't expect the kingfisher to come every morning," I lamented as he had diligently been present for at least a week or so.

After a few minutes, a black-naped Oriole landed on the bare tree to my left. I took photos. Suddenly, the kingfisher rushed in and landed. I was able to capture him on the first video (below)! As if he was late for a very important appointment.

I continued photographing the Oriole. The kingfisher flew off to the tree on my right but I could not film him as I could not see him. He was there as I could hear his "ki-ki-ki" calls. (2nd video has no kingfisher).

3rd video showed the pair of pink-necked green pigeons again on the same tree as 2 days ago. The kingfisher remained perched and hidden to the upper right of the 2nd tree! He was there calling for some one and was still there when I left at 9 am.
