 Another beautiful Southern African Kingfisher. Oddly this one doesn't dive for fish! I have however seen him land in shallow pools of water and catch insects, frogs and small mammals. Photographed near Satara, Kruger National Park, RSA at 06:48am in low golden morning light (sunrise).

Very pretty in that light. I love the colour in his wing feathers.

Very cute looking bird. I've never seen one alive, but it's a wonderful photo.
