A gray-headed kingfisher with blue and chestnut wings and a long red-orange bill perches on a branch, facing left with alert posture.

Not all kingfishers fish.

Grey-headed Kingfishers are found in dry scrub habitat where they hunt for insects and small lizards. I love how the late day golden hour light warms the already striking colors. If you look closely you can see the reflection of the setting sun in their eye.

Photographed in Tsavo East National Park with my @nikonusa #nikonZ9 and #nikkorz800mmf63vrs
