Blue-banded Kingfisher

Alcedo euryzona

The Blue-banded Kingfisher (Alcedo euryzona) is a stunning bird found in the forests and wetlands of Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant blue and orange plumage, with a distinctive blue band across its chest. This small kingfisher is an expert fisherman, often perching near water bodies to hunt for its prey. It builds its nest in riverbanks or forested areas, creating burrows for shelter. The species is known for its sharp, high-pitched calls that echo through its habitat. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and degradation, the Blue-banded Kingfisher faces threats to its survival.

Habitat: Forests and wetlands of Southeast Asia
