Pied Kingfisher; Bonte IJsvogel; Ceryle rudis

            On our trip from Dar es Salaam to Selous NP in Tanzania we had a short stop near a lake where we saw in just half an hour many beautiful species of birds, among which this pied kingfisher. This is the only species of kingfishers that may be hovering in the sky before diving for prey. Also unique among kingfishers is that it may consume its prey in flight and therefore is able to go far out over sea.
