I went for a walk down the road before work this morning and encountered a few birds. The highlight, although in the distance, was an Azure Kingfisher who had just caught a yabbie in the creek.
Also pictured are a Spangled Drongo, and a Blue-faced Honeyeater in a flowering Silky Oak.

Some of the other birds we encountered were Scarlet Honeyeaters, an Azure Kingfisher, a Rufous Fantail, and a Large-Billed Scrubwren.

Yes indeed, he was a "Common Kingfisher".
From an Aussie perspective, many similarities to the Azure Kingfisher we have, in terms of size and red legs :)
