The New Georgia Dwarf Kingfisher is a tiny and vibrant kingfisher endemic to the New Georgia Group of the Solomon Islands. It is characterized by its vivid blue and rufous plumage, often with a white throat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the New Georgia Group of the Solomon Islands. Inhabits lowland and hill forests, often near small streams or damp areas.
How to spot
Look for its small, colorful form perching low in the dense forest understory. Its bright colors can be elusive in the dappled light. Listen for its high-pitched, quick calls to pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours. Best observed in the mornings and late afternoons.
This species, like others in its genus, often 'hovers' briefly in the air before snatching an insect from foliage, a remarkable display of aerial dexterity.
