The tiny oriental dwarf kingfisher is one of the most attractive birds that you’ll see on Koh Chang or anywhere else for that matter. It grows to only around 13cm in length but has brilliantly shaded purple and yellow feathers and a bright red beak. Clearly camouflage isn’t its thing.
They live around small streams in densely shaded lowland forests.
They feed on geckoes, snails, crabs, frogs and various insect species.
