Oriental dwarf kingfisher — size comparison — facts and sources

The Oriental dwarf kingfisher is a small, colourful bird of humid forests and shaded streams. It stays in the understorey, often concealed among leaves. Brief flights between low branches reveal its presence.

From a perch it watches for insects, amphibians and small reptiles. It makes a rapid sortie once prey is spotted, using branches as lookouts.
