Description: | The Sacred Kingfisher is common throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and is also found on islands across Australasia from Indonesia to New Zealand. It lives in forests and mangrove swamps. In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north and fly south in the spring to breed. Unlike European kingfishers, Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on land, only occasionally hunting in the water. They feed mainly on crustaceans, reptiles and insects.
