Fluidr / Gray-headed Kingfisher Overlooking His Domain by John LeClair

The Gray-headed Kingfisher is quite common in the areas of Kenya that I have visited. In my experience, it is the most common kingfisher; not sure if that is a fact or not, but seems to be from my observations.

It's much less people shy than our belted kingfisher here in the US making them a tad easier to photograph.

This handsome guy was hanging around Lentorre Lodge late in the afternoon.
