Who am I?

This little fellow was in my backyard.

Looks like a young blue winged kooky; only found in northern Australia.

Hello,

Sacred Kingfisher (Male)

[AstroJunk]

Indeed, the Sacred Kingfisher and hangs out at our pool!

[AdamJL]

Yeah a nice little bird this one. Though they tend to scare off the azure kingfishers which are super awesome little rockets

[Nikolas]

Yep it's a Kingfisher

[AstralTraveller]

Are you sure this isn't the Forest Kingfisher? The colour matches better but of course the wing spot (or lack of) is diagnostic.

[AstroJunk]

I'm never sure of anything, but I can hear one outside - I'll go and ask :lol:

[AstroJunk]

He answered "Dek Dek Dek Dek" which makes him a Sacred model according to Pizzey.

[JohnF]

Well he won't catch any fish in your pool:lol:

[AstralTraveller]

OK. It's just that he is markedly blue and has very little buff, very different to Bob's and others I have seen.

Did he say whether you'll see a comet shadow in Sept.??

[AstroJunk]

I practice fly casting on it - he must think I know something he doesn't!



I'll check in with the Powerful Owls, they are a bit wiser...
