Woodland Kingfisher - a photo on Flickriver

            in the Western Corridor of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

this beautiful  kingfisher is one of my favorite African birds. 
It can be found in different types of woodland, often far from water. Its geographic range is large and the birds living in the north and the south of the range are migratory, i.e. they migrate towards the equator in the dry season. 
For instance in the Kruger NP area it occurs only in summer when its unmistakable call is often heard.
