Ruddy Kingfisher, アカショウビン July 17th

Thanx to my friends, Mr T, Ms M and Mr. Y I had the opportunity to watch the Ruddy Kingfishers at their nesting site. Feeding the chicks (whose faces we couldn't see, though I could hear them ) all day long. The blinds provided excellent shelter, so the birds were not disturbed.














The female was easily recognized, because of the scar on her head. What happened to her?



Others in the same place, Japanese Paradise Flycatcher, サンコウチョウ male...


...and male - bathing in the small stream



Also Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ and Asian Stubtail, ヤブサメ (no pic)


What a special day!
