Grey headed kingfisher

Halcyon leucocephal

Description:

Sometimes mistaken for the brown headed kingfisher, which is similar but lacks the chestnut on the breast

Habitat:

Tarangire

Notes:

I have a love hate relationship with Kingfishers as they seem prone to fly off the moment the camera is in focus. This one was very cooperative
