リュウキュウアカショウビンのペアの行動
アカショウビンのペアが防風林で行動をともにしていました。巣穴を掘れる場所でもさがしているのでしょうか。
獲物もなんどか捕まえていましたが、求愛給餌にはまだ早いようでしたが、つねにつかず離れずで動いていました。
A male Ruddy Kingfisher opened its bill wide — I thought it was going to regurgitate a pellet, but it didn't. ^^;
Two Ruddy Kingfishers together deep in the undergrowth. They seemed to be searching for a nesting site, always staying close to each other. The individual on the right is the female.
A Ruddy Kingfisher perched right in front of me. I think the Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher is considerably more purple than the mainland form.
Against the all-red body, the light blue on the back stands out.
