Ruddy Kingfisher, Crested Serpent Eagle and more
Passed through Banna Park. I had good encounters with multiple Ruddy Kingfishers. One adult was feeding a fledgling that had grown to nearly adult size.
The Crested Serpent Eagles are in the final stages of raising their young. The beautiful white-plumaged juveniles should be appearing soon.
I also recorded the first Grey Wagtail of the season — a small group of four.
The Eurasian Tree Sparrow chicks that had been breeding in the nest box on my house have also fledged. The garden is lively these days.
This Ruddy Kingfisher was still feeding its fledgling. The adult was relaxed, but the fledgling was an extremely wary individual.
Another very relaxed Ruddy Kingfisher. An individual that doesn't care even when people walk by below. ^^
Also a Crested Serpent Eagle living in Banna Park. Completely unbothered by people.
Among the wagtails, the first to arrive on Ishigaki Island is the Grey Wagtail, followed by the Eastern Yellow Wagtail and then the White Wagtail.
