Intakaisland

Lovely morning at Intaka Island with my dad and my dear cousin @joydemillar Waiting proved worthwhile and this living jewel of South Africa’s rivers and lakes eventually settled close enough. It had a ring on its tiny leg. These little Malachite Kingfishers are about the size of a large hen’s egg. This one is, I think, a sub-adult with traces of black still on its bill.
