キンバトとベニバト

林道を流しているとキンバトのメスを発見しました。巣材運びでもするかとしばらく見ているとどこからともなくオスも現れました。2羽のキンバトは雨上がりの林道で採餌しているようで巣材集めなどはしませんでした。繁殖はまだこれからなのでしょう。

田んぼには、ベニバトのメスが1羽いました。キジバトの群れと一緒に稲刈り後の落穂を拾っているようでした。

A female Emerald Dove. She was not particularly wary, but the light was extremely dim and the shot came out blurred… ^^;

Eurasian Collared Dove

Among the Oriental Turtle Doves in the rice paddy, a single female Ruddy-breasted Seedsnipe had joined them — wait, I mean a female Little Button-quail... Actually, a single female Ruddy-breasted Crake... Let me correct that: one female Crimson Sunbird... No — a single female Red Turtle Dove had flown in among the Oriental Turtle Doves in the paddy. The Red Turtle Dove was incredibly far away and this is about the best shot I managed… ^^;
