The Azure Kingfisher is a small kingfisher found in Australia and nearby islands, weighing about 31.8g with a wingspan of 14.8cm. It inhabits the banks of streams, rivers, and lakes, plunging into water to catch small fish and aquatic invertebrates. Its brilliant azure-blue upperparts and orange underparts make it unmistakable along waterways.

African Dwarf-kingfisher

The African Dwarf-kingfisher is one of the world's smallest kingfishers at just 10g, found in West and Central African rainforests. It hunts insects with typical kingfisher precision.
