Arusha, Tanzania
Thanks, Seema and Arun, for the nice words.
Thanks, Sydes, for the more specific ID.
Thanks for the ID help. Spotted this one at Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.
Thanks, Yuko :) The fifth photo actually shows a hippo rolling in the water with its belly and legs above the water. I wish I could have taken a clearer photo.
@KarenL: Thanks, Karen, for the scientific name. My internet connection is very slow here and I have a problem searching for info.
@Maria dB: Yes, it is captive and a resident of a nearby snake farm. I have another spotting here of lizard buzzards in the wild but the shots were not very close.
According to a friend in Facebook this might be a mangrove kingfisher?
@Janet: Thanks for the ID help :)
