GIANT KINGFISHER // MEGACERYLE MAXIMA (42-46CM)
GAMBIA FEB 2019
================
UNMISTAKABLE, the largest of the nine kingfisher species in the Gambia, and the largest in the Africa Continent as well, with its massive black bill, and often stiff shaggy crest, laying flat in this image, found local coastal inlets, streams and ponds, this one at Kotu bridge. Zoom in for close detail !
Have been hankering after this image for years, have seen it distant, and on high power lines, or a fleeting glimpse as if fly's away. But to have it perch within 4 mrts, on the very last day and last hour, was a prayer answered, thank God !
====================================================
THANK YOU for your visit, and being a friend, it means a lot to me, love to read your comments, please keep a smile on your face and love in your heart..........God bless, stay safe..........Tomx..
