Grey-headed Kingfisher - The Fisher that does not fish

Grey-Headed Kingfisher (Halcyon leucocephala - translates as white headed)
Unlike other kingfishers, this is a non acquatic, dry country kingfisher that feeds on insects and lizards rather than diving for fish.
They migrate at night and are often killed by flying into obstacles such as towers and powerlines
