On December 14, 2004, Norfolk Island Post issued the local FDC feature the specific species, Sacred Kingfisher. The issued stamps comprised of 4 stamps marked with the logo of WWF.
Sacred Kingfisher is a small brightly coloured bird, with blue or Green wings, tail, and head stripe though the female is slightly duller than the male. Populations in the southern two-thirds of Australia migrate northwards at the end of breeding season to New Guinea, east to the Eastern Solomon Island and West to Indonesia becoming uncommon to very sparse as west as Sumatra. Birds move south again to Australia in August to September.
