The Azure Kingfisher (*Ceyx azureus*) is a small, vividly coloured kingfisher found along waterways throughout northern, eastern, and southeastern Australia, including Tasmania, as well as New Guinea and nearby islands. This species is almost always seen close to water, where it darts low over rivers and creeks.
