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。
When it rains the colours of the trees become vivid.
The two were together, never quite close but never far apart.
There seems to be plenty of prey up in the trees — it kept looking upward.
A male Ruddy Kingfisher. The pair from above.
I thought this female had started incubating, but there she was. What's going on?
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. ^^
