Crested kingfisher

In Japan, it is said that a crested kingfisher is resident bird distributed over Kyushu and north, but,

    there are not so many population.

  This was the first time that I took the photograph of a crested kingfisher that I had been waiting for four hours. It was only five seconds thing.

Crested kingfisher is called yamasemi in Japan

 A river fisherman informed me that the crested kingfisher has been nesting at that over hanging cliff.
