久しぶりの夜探

かなり久しぶりに夜探へ行ってきました。リュウキュウコノハズク、アオバズクともに繁殖期で活発です。

ゴイサギは成鳥、幼鳥ともに水路で確認。寝ているアカショウビンやイシガキヒヨドリも観察できました。

Elegant Scops Owl

A female Ryukyu Scops Owl tilting her head and sizing me up. Based on identifying features such as the mark on her bill, she is the same individual as the female seen perched at the nest tree together with the male the other day.

Elegant Scops Owl

Same individual as above. A calm bird that shows no fear of people whatsoever.
