The woodland kingfisher (Halcyon senegalensis) is a tree kingfisher. I was lucky enough to see this one at close range at the Rainforest Lodge near Kakum, Ghana.
They have an extremely large range, basically two thirds of Africa so I am surprised I didn’t see them in more places. I’ve found reliable reports that they can be seen in Kruger National Park, South Africa and several places in Uganda as well.
