Hi ya'll not sure if any of you guys go out twitching as this is a reptile forum but could anyone give me a I.D on this bird? Pretty sure its a forest kingfisher but they're not meant to be around where I am...

Certainly looks like a Forest, they list Port Stephens as the limit of their distribution, but I have seen them while fishing the Hawkesbury.
 
Hmmmm ok, thanks for the I.D Found this one in Irrawong, chilling at the 2nd waterfall.
 
I second the ID for forest kingfisher. It's not too out of its range as far as birds go. If you look at atlas of living Australia records, you'll see they'll turn up quite far down the coast. Gorgeous photo!
