Ruddy Kingfisher

The Ruddy Kingfisher showed itself for just a moment, then was gone in an instant. This was all I could get… ^^;

On Ishigaki the Ruddy Kingfisher is easy to shoot to your heart's content, but in southern Okinawa Island encounters are rare. There are reasonable numbers up in Yambaru, but getting shots there is difficult.
