巣立ったリュウキュウコノハズク

昨夜巣立ちしたコノハズクのヒナ をなんとか見つけられました。しかし、うまいこと隠れるもんだ。^^

Elegant Scops Owl

A fledgling Ryukyu Scops Owl deep in the undergrowth. Seeing them in daylight gives a completely different impression.

The female Ryukyu Scops Owl was also there about a metre away, but I could only make out her silhouette and wasn't able to get a shot.

At this nesting site, the female has finally come out of the nest completely. She's not used to me yet, so she's a little wary.

Maybe about one more week until fledging.
