難易度AAA+のリュウキュウコノハズク

昼間のコノハズクを探すのは難易度高いです。しかし、やっと見つけることが出来ました。そして、営巣してるっぽかった!!

台風前の風が強くなりつつあり、ISO100で撮りたかったけど、木が揺れてむりー。微妙にぶれてます…。

台風後にまた訪ねてみよう。

Elegant Scops Owl

If you're going to shoot one, a Ryukyu Scops Owl in the daytime is the way to go!!

Smaller than the Ruddy Kingfisher and coloured just like a leaf, as the name suggests, so they are hard to find.
