The actions of the kingfisher when fishing are diving and waiting, sudden attack and return to the nest, as follows:

1. Diving and waiting

The kingfisher will first Dive around the surface until it finds a suitable location, usually somewhere where schools of fish often swim. Once it finds this location, the kingfisher will dive underwater and try to stay as quiet as possible to avoid disturbing the fish. During a dive, a kingfisher may close its eyes to reduce water resistance while maintaining good balance.

2. Sudden attack

Once the target is found, the kingfisher will quickly attack the school of fish. It may beat the water with its wings to help it get closer to its target faster. The kingfisher then uses its sharp beak to quickly catch a fish and carry it away from the school.

3. Return to the nest

The kingfisher returns to its nest with the caught fish. On the way back, the kingfisher also dives to avoid detection by other animals. Upon arriving at the nest, the kingfisher feeds the captured fish to its chicks.

The morphological characteristics, living habits and ecological value of the kingfisher

1. The morphological characteristics of the kingfisher

The size of the kingfisher is relatively small, usually around 15 years old to 20 cm. Their wings are short, which makes them very agile when swimming and diving in the water.

They usually fly low over the water and then suddenly dive into the water to quickly catch aquatic creatures such as fish and shrimps with their beaks. Kingfishers have excellent eyesight, which allows them to catch prey underwater. During the breeding season, kingfishers build nests in trees or rocks near water.

3. The ecological value of kingfishers
