について

The Black-headed Paradise-kingfisher is a spectacularly ornate kingfisher with a black head, vivid turquoise-blue upperparts, white underparts, and extraordinarily long white tail streamers. It inhabits lowland and hill rainforests of the Bismarck Archipelago, including New Britain and Manus, in Papua New Guinea. It hunts insects, lizards, and earthworms in the forest understory, often diving to the ground to capture prey.
