Little Kingfisher
The Little Kingfisher (*Ceyx pusillus*) is Australia’s smallest kingfisher and one of the tiniest in the world. This compact, blue-and-white bird is most often found along shady rivers, lagoons, and mangroves in northern Queensland and the Northern Territory, where its glossy blue plumage can be seen flashing with colour in the shadows.
