" This is the most common and generally spread of the Indian 
Kingfishers, frequenting not only the banks of rivers and brooks, 
tanks, wells, and wet paddy-fields, but also dry cultivated ground, 
groves, old walls, and many other similar situations. It preys upon 
small fish (which it pursues below the surface), frogs, tadpoles, and 
various water-insects ; also on small lizards, grasshoppers, and various 
other large insects. It has a very loud, harsh, rattling scream, gene- 
rally uttered during flight. Is said to breed in holes on the banks 
of rivers."— (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. XI. p. 230.) 
Dr. F. (B.) Hamilton, in his MS., says "it builds its nest in trees."
