The Woodland Kingfisher has to be one of the most iconic birds of southern African woodland in summer. They are an intra-African migrant, spending our winter up closer to the equator, coming back here in October-November. Their disctinctive call gives character to the sounds of our forests and woodlands. The call is described as a loud trill sounding like a nail run down the teeth of a comb.
