Release of a Yonaguni Scops Owl... (Ryukyu Wood Pigeon release)
A Yonaguni Ryukyu Wood Pigeon that had been rescued after being attacked by a crow was released back into the wild after about 70 days in care. The tail feathers were in quite poor condition, but it managed to fly off and return to the forest.
This individual appears to have hatched this year. A Ministry of the Environment general-use ring is also fitted on the right leg.
Released from the ground. It managed to get airborne.
It perched in a tree about four metres up. After around thirty minutes it disappeared into the forest.
