Ruddy Kingfisher, Oriental Pratincole and others before the typhoon
Typhoon No. 3 is bearing down on Ishigaki Island — the first approach of the year.
The wind had a suspicious feel to it, but I had plenty of encounters with Ruddy Kingfisher. The Oriental Pratincole fledging season appears to be in its final stages, with numbers dropping steadily.
A slow drive along the usual forest road turned up several Ruddy Kingfishers in a short time.
This is the Ruddy Kingfisher near my home. The fledglings seem to have dispersed — they were nowhere to be found.
Oriental Pratincole, juvenile. Moult is progressing.
This one still has plenty of fresh juvenile plumage remaining.
Wood Sandpipers are increasing in number day by day.
