Description: The kingfisher is such a familiar British species that it is often not realized that there are well over 100 different kinds of kingfisher in the world. All conform to the same general body pattern with long pointed dagger-like beaks, but they come in various different sizes with different plumage patterning, although most sport much blue colouring. The Smyrna kingfisher is a very attractive member of the kingfisher family that comes from the Middle and near East.
