Socotra Warbler

Very large kingfisher with a lot of blue in the wings and tail. Note pale eye and pale, finely streaked head. Occurs across northern Australia in a variety of woodland habitats including parks and gardens. Often perches on powerlines. Its call is quite different to the Laughing Kookaburra, typically a loud rolling squawk and various loud yapping sounds.

Small, striking gray and white raptor with black shoulder patches. Underparts white with two black patches on underwing extending from "armpit" to "wrist". Legs and feet are almost white. Eyes bright red with dark markings around the eye giving a very round owl-like appearance. Nocturnal, and unlikely to be seen hovering over grasslands searching for prey in the middle of the day like Black-shouldered Kite. Very rare; typically occurs inland Australia, although occasionally disperses more widely.

A small kingfisher with a bright orange bill, peach underparts, a speckled blue head, and deep blue upperparts with an electric blue stripe running down them. Also note the white neck mark and the orange blotches above the bill. Juveniles darker above, with dark base to bill. Found singly or in pairs in forest understorey within the lowlands and foothills, sometimes beside forest streams. Differentiated from Common and Azure Kingfishers by its smaller size and orange bill. Gives a shrill, single drawn-out “tseeeeet” call.
