31-5-2019 THORNTREE CAMP, ZAMBIA - WOODLAND KINGFISHER (Halcyon senegalensis)


Halcyon senegalensis, known as the Woodland Kingfisher, is a widespread African tree kingfisher recognized by its blue back, black wings with white patches, and reddish bill, contrasting with a white throat and belly, often seen near woodland and savanna habitats south of the Sahara, noted by the BIRDA app. 

It's a distinctive bird in the kingfisher family, frequently identified by its bold colors and noisy calls, despite not always being near water like some kingfishers.
