RED-BREASTED PARADISE KINGFISHER Tanysiptera nympha View in CoL
Noisy, commonly heard and seen at Kangarangate but not at our higher elevation site of Munggur.ȱTwoȱcallsȱareȱfrequentlyȱgiven:ȱaȱveryȱfastȱdescendingȱtrill,ȱsimilarȱtoȱtheȱfirstȱpartȱ ofȱ theȱ callȱ ofȱ Yellow-billedȱ Kingfisherȱ Syma torotoro ,ȱ butȱ withȱ aȱ spittedȱ unmusicalȱ quality;ȱ and a very faint, long, medium-high pitch, single ascending note. Segregated ecologically fromȱ Commonȱ Paradiseȱ Kingfisherȱ T. galatea by inhabiting higher elevations, and by perching higher in forest (at 6–15 m) rather than in the lower storey. We encountered T. galatea just once, at low elevation (815 m), at Kangarangate.
