Ruddy Kingfisher, Ashy Drongo, Ruddy Shelduck, Oriental Pratincole and more (video)
April 7, 2026
The Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher arrived about a week earlier than usual this season — calls were already audible around 23 March. Numbers picked up toward the end of March. My first photos weren't until 6 April, a little later than usual, partly because I was away from the island on a trip.
