A male Oriental Scops Owl — a breeding individual here. The female was nowhere to be found; not sure whether she is incubating or not.

The pattern of feather loss on the crown is similar to the male Oriental Scops Owl I photographed in exactly the same spot last year, so this may be the same bird.

An Oriental Scops Owl on the forest road. Also a male.

A Ruddy Kingfisher on the forest road. Judged to be male from its morphology.

A Ruddy Kingfisher resting on a slender branch. Sex unknown.

Also a female Ruddy Kingfisher on the same forest road.

The male paired with the individual above. The fact that both male and female are resting outside the nest suggests either that the chicks have grown to some extent, or that egg-laying has not yet taken place.
