Green-backed Kingfisher

A beautiful kingfisher (aren't they all) but difficult to photograph as they tend to inhabit dense tropical forest. I saw this one in Tangoko National Park, Sulawesi

  Yes, I love them too - have you been to Australia? The KIng of kingfishers (the Kookaburra) lives there with one of the coolest bird calls in nature. Posted 8 years ago

These are so beautiful, yes. No, I have not been in Australia. I have seen them in zoos here in Europe. I hope one day I will see them in nature as well! Posted 8 years ago
