Ruddy Kingfisher

            Ruddy Kingfisher, Pekaka Ungu, Halcyon coromanda
This is a medium-sized tree kingfisher which is widely distributed in east and southeast Asia, ranging from South Korea and Japan in the north, south through the Philippines to the Sunda Islands, and west to China and India. It is migratory, with birds in the northern part of the range migrating as far south as Borneo during winter, the ruddy kingfisher is consider rare, where it is highly sought after by birders. The bird is a passage migrant through Peninsula Malaysia. Ruddy kingfishers inhabit forested areas from the temperate to tropical zones, often in thick jungles, thick mangroves, inland island within small lakes and rainforests with large patches of flooded forest floor. 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. Due to its preference for heavily forested areas, the kingfisher's high, descending call is more often heard than the bird itself is seen, and these birds generally travel singly or in pairs. 
Antara spesis pekaka yang sukar ditemui kerana habitatnya dikawasan hutan tebal. Selalunya hanya bunyi sahaja yang kedengaran bersahutan. Bila bernasib baik ia akan keluar sebentar.
