Black-capped Kingfisher - a photo on Flickriver

Black-capped Kingfisher has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22683249/212490546

There are quite a few colourful kingfishers in Thailand, and Black-capped Kingfisher is particularly eye-catching including for that large red bill. The species is ranked as Vulnerable by the IUCN, mainly due to population declines. This individual was seen at a boardwalk that went some distance along a channel we travelled on by boat. The location was near Laem Phak Bia in Phetchaburi province.
