African pygmy-kingfisher (Ceyx pictus) -best in black!

    Newer Older

    Image taken at Abuko Forest Reserve, The Gambia.
    A tiny Kingfisher which prefers small shaded forest pools where it feeds mainly on insects.
    These wee birds positively glow in the dark gloomy understorey of the forest!

    Framed by a friend.
