For the first time ever, scientists have managed to photograph a rare bird species known as the South Philippine Dwarf Kingfisher. Originating from the Philippines, the bird was first recorded in 1890 during an expedition to the country.
Due to its erratic behaviour, the bird has managed to elude scientists and nature photographers for 130 years, but has finally been caught on camera – this will be the first time the country (and world!) has ever seen visual documentation of the bird.

A funny caption for this photo would be... "I can't stand being the third wheel"! ROFL!

ROFLMAO!
Now that bird reminds me of Ida Lee Nagger (on Hee Haw), played by Roni Stoneman!
Those two little sweethearts melt my heart!
I'm dying with laughter!
This one takes the cake!
Talk about sweet retribution, complete and total payback!
Have you noticed, two have regular beaks, while the other has what looks to be a ducks beak?
I can't but see so much resemblance to humans in their actions, like the two out of the group heading to the water, getting all wrapped up with the group that are returning from the water!
Those two didn't know which party to join! ROFL!
