Halcyon cyanoventris - Javan kingfisher

I could never get near this colourful creature, hence the poor image. But there is enough to confirm the species.

It is a lot larger than the kinkfishers that I know, more like a small crow. I will get a decent shot one day.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
