Azure kingfisher and sacred lotus Azure kingfishers are small birds that live around waterways, wetlands, lakes, swamps and mangroves. Resplendent in orange and azure blue/purple, they perch above the water keeping a keen eye out for fish, aquatic insects, tadpoles and crustaceans, ever ready to plunge for the catch. Sacred lotus are water plants native to the tropical north of Australia. With huge pink flowers and large pad shaped leaves, they stretch over billabongs and wetlands where they can get their roots into the mud. If conditions are unfavourable for germination, the seeds can remain dormant in the ground for hundreds of years, waiting for better conditions to regenerate. Show more
