" Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! tetapkanlah iman kamu kepada Allah Taala dan rasulNya, dan kepada kitab al-Quran yang telah diturunkan kepada rasulnya (muhammad s.a.w) dan juga kepada kitab-kitab suci yang telah diturunkan dahulu daripada itu. Dan sesiapa yang kufur ingakar kepada Allah, malaikat-malaikatNya, kitab-kitabNya dan rasul-rasulNya dan juga hari akhirat, maka sesungguhnya ia telah sesat dengan kesesatan yang sejauh-jauhnya.

Blue-eared Kingfisher (Alcedo meninting)

Blue-eared Kingfisher (Alcedo meninting)

 The Blue-eared Kingfisher (Alcedo meninting) is found in Asia, ranging across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is found mainly in dense shaded forests where it hunts in small streams. It is darker crowned, with darker rufous underparts and lacking the rufous ear stripe of the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) which is found in more open habitats. A number of subspecies have been described that differ in measurement and colour shade. Adult males have an all dark bill while females have a reddish lower mandible.





This 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long kingfisher is almost identical to the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) but is distinguished by the blue ear coverts, darker and more intense cobalt-blue upperparts with richer rufous under parts. The juvenile Blue-eared Kingfisher has rufous ear-coverts as in the Common Kingfisher but it usually shows some mottling on the throat and upper breast which disappears when the bird reaches adulthood. Young birds have a reddish bill with whitish tips.[2][3] 

The range of this species stretches from India in the west, eastwards across Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, and further into Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia. The usual habitat is pools or streams in dense evergreen forest and sometimes mangroves, situated under 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) of altitude.
