チモールショウビン

The cinnamon-banded kingfisher (Todiramphus australasia) is a medium-sized kingfisher in the family Alcedinidae, endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, particularly Timor, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, and adjacent smaller islands. It inhabits primary and mature secondary forest, forest edges, and lightly wooded areas, perching conspicuously on branches from which it hunts lizards, large insects, and occasionally small vertebrates. The plumage features a distinctive cinnamon-rufous breast band across an otherwise blue-green and white body, giving the species its common name. The cinnamon-banded kingfisher is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting ongoing habitat loss from deforestation across the Lesser Sunda Islands, where forest cover has declined substantially due to agricultural conversion, charcoal production, and logging. Its restricted island range limits the total available habitat and makes local extinctions from habitat loss particularly significant at the population level. The Lesser Sunda Islands represent a transition zone between Asian and Australasian biotas and host considerable endemic biodiversity. The species is entirely absent from Europe; any Norwegian database record is an artifact. Conservation priorities include protection of remaining primary forest on Timor and other key islands in its range.
