Blue-Breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon malimbica). 4.3.2009.

 

An englishman had found this beauty sitting still behind our hotel area. He had seen me walking behind our hotel area and had tried to whistle to me...but...In Gambia there are so many vocals flying in the air all the time that I couldn`t pick human whistling out from birds voices. So he had left out and walked towards me on the path and told to me about an odd bird to him. So we walked to his place and there it was still sitting in a shade in the middle of the day. Took many pics, this with the flash...

 

Still more Gambian pics to come...for a while...

 

Many thanks to Manchester:)
