~ Meru National Park has a healthy population of Halcyon leucocephala, Grey-headed Kingfisher, as on every game drive they're spotted. Not only are they frequently observed, but they're particularly obliging models for the camera lens. When ‘like a Meru kingfisher’ comes to mind, I'm thinking of an animal subject which is neither elusive nor anxious, remaining in one position long enough for ample portraits to be made. With their vibrant scarlet bills, they're an ideal target for a camera's auto-focus.
