The Little Paradise Kingfisher is a diminutive and beautiful species, characterized by its long tail streamers, rufous underparts, and blue cap. It is a shy forest dweller.
Where to spot
Found in northern and central New Guinea. It inhabits lowland rainforests, gallery forests along rivers, and swamp forests.
How to spot
Requires patience due to its secretive nature. Look for its long tail streamers as it perches low or moves through the undergrowth. Its distinctive, mournful calls are often the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
Active during daylight, often observed foraging in the understory in the early morning or late afternoon. It is a resident species, present year-round.

Like other paradise kingfishers, it excavates a nest chamber in a termite mound on the forest floor, a fascinating and secure nesting strategy.
