Ruddy Kingfisher Nest Building (video included)
The Ruddy Kingfishers on Ishigaki Island are in the early stages of breeding, and pairs can be observed nest building here and there. Seeing the two birds perched side by side is something that only happens at this time of year. Courtship feeding, with the male passing food to the female, can also be observed.
