Kingfisher birds are beloved around the world, with more than 90 species occupying a wide variety of habitats.
They are recognised by their large heads and long beaks, and known for their keen vision, colourful plumage, and skilful hunting. Kingfishers are widely recognised as indicators of environmental health. By the same token, they are vulnerable when their habitats are destroyed. Some species are now threatened with extinction.
