久しぶりにリュウキュウアカショウビン

最近は、海岸や田んぼばかり見ていましたが、10日ぶりにアカショウビンのポイントである屋良部岳林道や嵩田林道、バンナ公園を見てきました。アカショウビン以外には、カンムリワシやリュウキュウキビタキなどが見られました。

Ruddy Kingfisher

It kept glancing upward. Nothing seemed to be there, but maybe the Ruddy Kingfisher saw something.

Breeding is over and the moult has begun — they really do look ragged this time of year. ^^;
