INDIGO BANDED KINGFISHERAlcedo cyanopecta©Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds
The Indigo-banded Kingfisher is a species of bird in the Alcedinidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines,  where it is a generally uncommon but locally common resident of the  northern and central islands.
The Indigo-banded Kingfisher feeds on fish and aquatic insects. It  perches on rocks and overhanging branches and foliage and dives steeply  into the water to catch its prey. Once caught, it returns the prey to  the perch where it is beaten and swallowed. Little is known about its  breeding behaviour, although it is known to nest in tunnels dug into the  banks of streams and rivers.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. Source
