BLUE-BREASTED KINGFISHER // HALCYON MALIMBICA (25cm)

            Gambia tour 2020.
===============
RELATIVELY large , with a huge red and black bill. it was a joy watching this one hunt  fiddler crabs, which have  one very enormous  claw,  and he avoids the biggest ones, as they may come out top. This K.F was very bold at the Kotu bridge, and poised for quite a while. Hope you enjoy.
=========================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, it means a lot, will look forward to seeing your latest postings, have been very busy with sorting my images, and family duties, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.    Please stay safe and well, God bless you...................................Tomx.
