Woodland Kingfisher
Halcyon senegalensis
The Woodland Kingfisher lives in open woodland, savanna, forest edges, and gardens across much of sub-Saharan Africa. It watches from a perch before dropping quickly onto insects, lizards, crabs, and small frogs. Despite its name, it often hunts far from water and relies on a powerful bill rather than fishing alone.
