Those SBS eyes get me every time... So bizarre!
Thanks for the pics of the Grey-headed Kingfisher. We have never seen one of them.

The area around Shingwedzi and the river is always an incredible one

At least the ever present impalas could be captured
and we had once again a great time in watching them and never get tired in photographing them. At least the sun was shining and it was simply a fantastic day
although the rest of our drive until we reached the Tshange causeway was still extreme quiet besides a couple of grey hornbills
and as always we stopped again on the causeway and due to the few cars in that area we do always have the causeways all to ourselves and can stop on them as long as we want to admire the view which is always amazing but gladly each year different.
This year the pond was filled up and the hippos had a great time there,
a hammerkop tried its luck with fishing
and the ever present crocodiles were hanging around there as well.

A nice surprise was then the sighting of a village indigo bird which we already spotted already at exactly the same bush during a previous visit.
For sure we stopped at the Tshange look out to stretch the legs a bit and then continued our drive with more waterbucks and red billed hornbills
and for sure with the amazing river views
and to Timon’s delight with another fish eagle.
A must stop is always at Red Rocks and here we always spent a lot of time with viewing, observing and discovering any birds
and another advantage of the far North is once again the few traffic as also here we are always alone during the period we do stop there
and although already often admired the Red Rocks view is never boring
and today we even could photograph a lot of different butterflies there.

I was answering RP, who said that it looked completely different from the other kingfishers. I think that it was a great sighting. Not many have seen one
