The Sacred Kingfisher (*Todiramphus sanctus*) is one of Australia’s most widespread and familiar kingfishers, easily recognised by its blue-green upperparts and buff to white underparts. Adaptable and resilient, it thrives in a variety of habitats from forests and woodlands to mangroves, parks, gardens, and even farmland.
