Salaga and Yeji. 
We found this remarkable Kingfisher along the shady belts 
of trees on the streams. It was a shy bird and by no means 
common, besides being locally distributed. The cry uttered 
by the male was loud and harsh. Towards evening it was 
frequently observed to mount high in the air, where it would 
remain for some time, hovering after the manner of a Kestrel. 
It breeds in April.
