Description: From a boat in Purbasthali, West Bengal, after a long wait, I captured the White-throated Kingfisher perched on a dry tree branch. Its distinctive "ki-ki-ki-ki" call echoed through the early morning mist, marking its territory. The Nikon D500 with the Nikkor 200-500 mm f/5.6 VR lens perfectly framed the moment as the bird paused, its call resonating over the water.
