The White-throated Kingfisher with a crab as prey

The White-throated Kingfisher of Mount Abu.

White-throated Kingfishers may be found across Asia, from Turkey through India, Southeast Asia, and as far east as the Philippines and Indonesia. They live in forests, open spaces, gardens, and marshes, making them adaptable to a wide range of habitats.
These kingfishers are largely carnivorous, eating insects, tiny vertebrates, small birds, even crabs and fish on occasion. They are adept predators who frequently sit on trees or wires to look for prey before swooping down to take it.
