リュウキュウアカショウビン個体識別
あるアカショウビンを撮ってたら「なんだか見たことがあるぞ」となって自宅に帰って過去の写真を探してみたら、やはり似た個体を2013年に撮影していました。ただ、8年も前となるとはたして同じ個体なのかどうなのか疑問が湧きます。
A female Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher perched on a nicely positioned branch.
When it turned the other way — well, a slight partial leucism. I had a feeling I'd seen it before, so I went home and dug through my old data.
This individual was photographed in 2013 in the same area as the Ruddy Kingfisher above. The position of the white feathers looks similar.
A close-up of the individual photographed this time. The feathers in roughly the same position are white.
Same individual as above, but facing left it seems to resemble other past individuals as well…
That would be this individual photographed in 2013. This one is a male, but the look of the feathering on the hindneck is distinctive and similar.
