stuny Posted April 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) This pied kingfisher was uncharacteristically posing -- Usually they don’t sit still long enough for me to focus. He's on an electrified fence wire meant to protect the staff and visitors to Ngamba Island from orphaned chimpanzees who have learned that even though humans are large, we are very weak compared to them. Plenty more pix in the Uganda & Rwanda photo gallery on our site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
