Mr. Kingfisher visited his Tasmanian azure relatives in Australia

The fable book The Kingfisher Story Collection shows that Mr. Kingfisher is an avid traveler [1]. However, due to unfavorable conditions, his dream of a long-distance journey became a challenging ordeal.

Since 2016, Mr. Kingfisher had been yearning for this trip, but it wasn’t until recently that he was able to board the CSIRO/AOS ship to Australia for a long-haul trip. The purpose of the trip was to contribute words of encouragement to the conservation efforts of the Tasmanian Azure Kingfishers in Australia.



The journey of this expedition has been meticulously documented in a paper in the journal PCB, a publication of CSIRO / The Australian Academy of Science [2]. However, we must wait for a short while for PCB to be edited properly and neatly before we can read the full text.

Today is a memorable day for Mr. Kingfisher. It is worthwhile to jot down these lines so we can reminisce about this event as time passes.
