Kotare – NZ Kingfisher

Kotare (Kingfishers) are found widely in New Zealand in a wide range of habitats. The key ingredients are elevated observation posts to hunt from, banks or suitable standing trees to excavate nests in, and open or semi-open habitats which support a range of prey items. The distinctive hunched silhouette on power-lines over water, and direct flight between perch and food and return to perch are characteristic. .

Kingfishers have a wide range of unmusical calls, the most distinctive of which is the staccato ‘kek-kek-kek’ territorial call.
