Pied Kingfisher in Pilanesburg National Park, SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

Recently I went to Pilanesburg National Park which is around 150kms away from Johannesburg, South Africa. I drove in a rental car and I was given a Peugeot 208 in Red color which was really great - compact hatchback for a family.

Here are some of the moments captured of the Pied Kingfisher and this post is dedicated to my best friend - Kuldeep Singh who is an avid bird photographer. I clicked these photographs using Nikon D7000 with Sigma 70-300mm lens. I think I shall invite him to Google Maps Local Guides program. What say?

The Black and white bird is really beautiful to look at and I immediately fell in love with the same.


He was aiming at the little fishes and insects and used to go dip in the shallow water to kill it’s prey.

I hope you are liking my posts as I continue to share them all with my fellow local guides.

Cheers!!!
