The Manus Dwarf Kingfisher is a minute and exquisite kingfisher endemic to Manus Island in the Bismarck Archipelago. It displays brilliant blue upperparts, a white breast, and a dark mask, making it a unique island specialist.
Where to spot
Endemic to Manus Island (Papua New Guinea). Primarily found in lowland rainforests, often near small streams and damp ravines.
How to spot
Observation requires dedicated effort due to its small size and localized range. Look for its tiny, bright form perching low in dense forest undergrowth. Listen for any high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours. Best observed during periods of less rain when forest access is easier.
