🌍🌏 Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus) The Red-flanked Bluetail is a small, shy member of the Old World flycatcher family. Males have a vibrant blue back, head, and tail, with a white throat and eyebrow, and distinctive orange-red flanks. Females and juveniles are browner with a duller blue tail and orange flanks. They breed in dense, coniferous forests across northern Asia and parts of Europe, migrating to southern and southeastern Asia for the winter. They are often seen hopping on the forest floor or low branches, flicking their tail. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Takashi_Yanagisawa via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-outdoors-wild-animals-natural-3252809/ KYPD 4bc0c6af98247d9e.jpg "I'm a medium-sized kingfisher widespread in Africa and Asia. I'm mostly black and white with a black crest and eye mask, white eyebrows, and black breast bands. I'm frequently seen hovering over water before plunging to catch my prey. Unlike most kingfishers, I am not overly shy and I'm often found near human habitation."

They breed across northern North America, from Alaska to the southern U.S., and migrate south to winter along the coasts of the U.S., Mexico, and Central America. They are highly acrobatic aerial insectivores, gliding more than other swallow species. They are social birds, forming large flocks during migration and winter, but are territorial during the breeding season when they nest in tree cavities or nest boxes. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by terski via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/tree-swallows-swallows-birds-8062157/ VEUK 48c57c69f8586825.jpg "I'm a small, slender bird of prey found in Asia and Africa known for my grey plumage and pale, finely-barred breast?"

Its most distinctive feature is a broad, bright yellow band on its otherwise black wings, which is particularly visible in flight. Native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, it inhabits open woodlands, gardens, and farmlands. Goldfinches are highly social birds, often forming large flocks, or "charms," outside of the breeding season. They are known for their agile, undulating flight and a pleasant, twittering song. They use their specialized bills to extract seeds from plants like thistles and teasels. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Ten subspecies are recognised.

My plumage is primarily a rich and vibrant shade of green, which gives me my common name. I have a striking yellow and black beak with a vertical white strip at its base. My chestnut-tipped tail fades from green to blue. I often perch in the canopy, where I feed on fruits and insects. My call is a series of loud, sharp "rrep-rrep-rrep" sounds." 2.5 Flash (Edited) What bird am I? 📷: Photo by Veronika_Andrews via Pixabay 614125e05d91e261.jpg 🌏 Cerulean kingfisher (Alcedo coerulescens) The Cerulean kingfisher is a small kingfisher native to Indonesia.
