Azure Kingfisher

(Alcedo azurea)

Sightings

Spottings in the area where we live, near Narrabri, NSW, are rate. In February 2006 we came across an Azure Kingfisher of the nominate subspecies "azurea" south of Boggabri, New South Wales, on the banks of the Namoi River. The next sighting came in Septmeber 2008, at Rocky Creek, some 50 km north-east of Narrabri.

We have seen an Azure Kingfisher, subspecies "ruficollaris", in the Northern Territory in 1997.
