Re: Leucistic malachite kingfisher
http://africageographic.com/blog/a-snow ... ingfisher/We were on a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda – an area that is renowned for a large number of water-loving bird species. We had heard that there was a unique bird that had been spotted in the area so we decided to go in search of it.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
