A kingfisher with a difference.

The Grey Headed Kingfisher. Apart from having a wonderful plumage this little beauty will sit in the open a long time watching not for fish but lizards. As far as I am aware it is the only species of kingfisher that dosn’t hunt for fish. It is also widespread throughout a great portion of the African continent. This particular one was photographed after dinner n the grounds of our hotel within the Amboseli National Park.
