Bird Images from Southern Africa - Malachite KingfisherAlcedo cristata
(431)

Malachite Kingishers are commonly found at the edge of water, perched on a reed stem. This little jewel breeds in holes in banks near water. Unlike the Pygmy Kingfisher, with which it is sometimes confused, the Malachite Kingfisher hunds almost exclusively over water.
