Hello from Ootake Camera!
We visited the “Crested Kingfisher Photography Hide” again today! The birds’ recent movement patterns are starting to become more consistent. We have been seeing more fly-ins very early in the morning lately. Also, since visits to Perch No.1 have increased, I decided to return to last year’s fixed shooting position for the first time in a while — and it was the right choice!!
The Crested Kingfisher landed beautifully on one of the best branches at Perch No.1＾＾ We had several visits to Perch No.1 and No.3, one visit to Perch No.5, and one visit to “Zero.”
