This photo was taken by a friend in the Newcastle region. It looks like a Little Kingfisher but when I looked at the location of this bird in' Unique Australian Animals' it is supposed to be found only in
the Far North.

Any comments?

Hi Des,

Happy Easter! I hope that Tom got some delicious chocolatey goodness over the weekend.

How's life in Chemistry? Is everything going well? Things are quite different in the IT area. I have much to learn... but I suspect I'll barely scratch the surface before I return. I'm still working on getting access to the many systems they have in place... but I've managed to do some good here and there.

You wouldn't happen to know what this bird is? It looks to me like a Kingfisher of some type... but to be honest, I am no expert. This was shot near Newcastle amidst one of the most mosquito-ridden swamp/mangrove area I've ever had the displeasure to visit. Between the Eagles at Townsville tip, and the swamps of Newcastle, I can say I know some interesting places to drag Renee in the pursuit of bird shots. How she puts up with me is anyone's guess.

Anyway, I hope you and your kin are all well.
Hamish.
