Sacred Kingfisher (Todiramphus sanctus)
Published January 25, 2010 | 
“Hunts from exposed perches; dives to ground to take prey; quite conspicuous in breeding season”. A pair nested near the top dam this spring and could be heard clearly with a piercing “kik-kik-kik-kikkikkik”. They were bold enough to pounce on my swatted March Flies.
