Field Guide

Torresian Kingfisher

4 sections

The Torresian Kingfisher (*Todiramphus sordidus*) is a medium to large kingfisher found along Australia’s northern and eastern coasts, as well as southern New Guinea. Specialised for life in mangrove ecosystems, it is distinguished by its greener and browner plumage compared to other Australian kingfishers, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the coastal habitats it frequents.
