The black-capped kingfisher (Halcyon pileata) is a large tree kingfisher found throughout tropical Asia. First described by Pieter Boddaert in 1783, this species frequents coastal waters, particularly those with mangroves. It feeds primarily on insects.

This individual was found in Phra Non, Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.Photograph: JJ Harrison
