Immature. Remarks: Of the eight kingfishers that have regular records in the Indian Sunderbans, the Ruddy is the most difficult to see. It is known to be a breeding resident here (though some literature mentions it as wintering). They are perhaps fewer in number than other kingfishers anyway, but the habit of keeping to dense foliage and the mangrove habitat of the Sunderbans makes it very difficult to observe. It is perhaps slightly easier to see in North-eastern India and northern West Bengal, from where we have seen several excellent images recently. In the Sunderbans I have heard its call many times, but encountered it only twice. On 8th Aug, 2010 a pair was seen near the same location as this. Last Sunday, we came across a courting pair loudly calling to each other. One of them offered very good views for some 10 minutes before flying off with its partner. Of the few sightings of this bird in the Sunderbans, all seem to be from the Sudhanyakhali area. - AK . Date added to OBI: July 25, 2014.
