The African Dwarf Kingfisher in Uganda is one of the African birds of Uganda seen during birding in Uganda.
This small insect-eating kingfisher belongs to the family Alcedininae and thrives in tropical African rainforests.
Birdwatchers on Uganda birdwatching safaris and Africa birding tours often spot it along the Royal Mile in Budongo Forest, making birding in Uganda an exciting adventure.
Like all Kingfishers, the African Dwarf kingfisher is a very small and dark blue bird in the upper plumage while the underparts are rufous. Both sexes are similar. It is the world`s smallest kingfisher with height 10cm and weight from 9-12 grams.
African dwarf kingfishers have a unique high-pitched whistle sisi-sisiseu- sisi different from other kingfishers.
