キンバトとアカショウビン

鳥の少ない時季ですが、最近はキンバトが毎日同じ餌場に現れます。今日は、2羽のキンバトが林道で餌を拾っていました。

アカショウビンも減っています。全くいないというわけではないですが、換羽が進んでみすぼらしい個体が多いですね。^^;

Emerald Dove

Emerald Doves often come down to the road, but this one was perched on a branch. ^^

The metallic green wings change shade depending on the light.

This one is an Emerald Dove foraging on the ground. The plumage looked darker than the individual above, which had also been on the ground at the time.

Ruddy Kingfisher

This Ruddy Kingfisher is always in the same spot, shows little wariness, and is a very approachable bird.

The moult has progressed quite far and it looks rather scruffy. Even the bill, which had been so vivid, is now dull.
