Recently I went to a place called Kozhikode in Kerala for photography.. there me and a friend of mine walked in search of birds in every place where we can see the birds.. On that trip we got many pictures of birds.. On the way back I suddenly saw this kingfisher on a pole on the roadside.. I stopped the car immediately. I slowly approached it without seeing it.. The bird was turning around and didn't see me.. I went very close to it under the cover of a plant and took this picture.
