2ペアのリュウキュウアカショウビン(動画あり)

小雨の中、アカショウビンは元気にえさ取り、求愛給餌をしていました。^^

抱卵に入るペアが増えているようで、だんだん観察がしづらくなっています。

After a good fill of Ruddy Kingfishers I spotted this one on my way to see the fireflies. It was 19:00, too dark to get the shutter speed up. This pair will probably still be doing courtship feeding for a while. ^^
