Azure Kingfisher

Azure Kingfisher (Ceyx Azureus) is a small bird that lives in the lowland forest of eastern region of Indonesia from West Papua to Waigeo, Aru and Halmahera islands. In e-bird, the spread of this kingfisher reaches the north and eastern region of Australia. This bird is often seen near a calm water of a river. It eats small fish and insects helping to control their population in the ecosystem of rainforest and at the same time providing natural fertilizer to plants from the bird's poop. 

Now the drawing can be bought from Teepublic  in the form of products such as mugs, t-shirt, hoodies, bags, shorts, socks and hats with the image of this Azure Kingfisher. You could buy them by clicking the following picture or text link.

The following sketch is the Azure Kingfisher that I saw in Klasow valley. It looks similar to Papuan Dwarf Kingfisher. I made this sketch to study basic form for drawing the bird. I used a small pocket sized book. 

Papuan Dwarf Kingfisher has got scale patterns on top of it head.
