またまたリュウキュウアカショウビン
アカショウビン、今季12個体目確認。^^
This is the same individual as yesterday.
A newly found individual. It was a bit more wary than usual. Photos came out blurry too. ^^;
GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.

Searching for the next prey.
ペアでいたのですが、オスが茂みの奥の方で撮れず…。^^; 例年にくらべると出だしは好調です。どさっと一気に渡ってきた感じですね。^^ 今季、11個体確認で6個体目の撮影!!
動画は、メスとオスのさえずりが入っています。羽を広げて求愛もしていました。
Female Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher.
13日を境に一気にアカショウビンが増えたようです。^^
It seemed to have claimed a small, compact clearing as its territory.
3月31日に鳴き声を聞いて、4月4、11日と姿をみて、本日やっと撮れました!!
きょうは、5個体見て、撮影できたのは3個体!! こんなシーズンインは初めてです。^^
Female Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher. It seemed the two had already paired up.
The male believed to be paired with the Ruddy Kingfisher above.
A Ruddy Kingfisher I found after venturing a bit further out. It had already started digging a nest hole in a Chinese mahogany tree. ^^
