リュウキュウアカショウビンの水浴び(動画あり)

2羽のアカショウビンが仲良く水浴びにやってきました。2羽で同時に水浴びに来るのを見たのは初めてです。水面が見えない場所からの撮影だったので、次回は水面が見える場所から撮ってみよう。

動画は少し長めですが、とても可愛らしいので、お時間ありましたら是非ご覧ください。^^

Ruddy Kingfisher

The male Ruddy Kingfisher that returns every year.

2014年のペアのオス is the same individual. The female changed in 2014.

The Ruddy Kingfisher paired with the male above. Whether the female is the same individual as last year is still unknown at this point. I think a few more photos should make it clear. ^^;

Ruddy Kingfisher

It was perched fairly high up, so I shot handheld. Shutter speed was 1/40, but the wrinkles of the eye ring are resolved clearly. Thank goodness for the 600mm f/4. ^^;
