Meek's Kingfisher

Ceyx meeki

Meek's Kingfisher (Ceyx meeki) is a small, colorful bird found in the forests and mangroves of New Guinea. It has a striking combination of bright blue and orange plumage, with a distinctive white throat and chest. Meek's Kingfisher is known for its rapid, low flight over water, where it hunts for small fish, crustaceans, and insects. This species is often found near slow-moving streams and rivers, where it perches on overhanging branches or roots. Despite its vibrant appearance, Meek's Kingfisher can be elusive and difficult to spot due to its shy nature and dense habitat.
