Thank you! They are hard to find too in this case. The ruddy kingfisher is heard but not seen and necessitates hours of patience to have a glimpse of this real feathered star. Thank you very much for watching. Best wishes!
Hello! Thank you very much for your comment. I hope to return some day to Northern Japan and find again the elusive ruddy kingfisher! It is the dream of many birdwatchers. Thank you for watching. Best wishes for the week.
Hello ! Thank you very much! It was a very special trip to find a very difficult to find bird. I am very happy that you liked the video. Best wishes for the week.
Hello 👋 ! Thank you very much for your kind comment ! I sure would like to go back to Juniko and check the ruddy kingfisher ! At the moment I’m in France checking warblers before going back to Japan. I wish you a happy week !
Thank you very much. I also like the ruddy kingfisher. In spite of what he or she eats. Weird food taste! But it’s a beautiful bird difficult to see in Japan. Have a good day.
Hello! Sorry I’m late for answering: I wasn’t told by RU-vid.I only discovered your comment now.I apologize.I am very glad that you watched and commented. I saw on your channel that you have a cat. There are many cats in Japan and they are multiplying fast. I wish you an excellent day. Best wishes.
いよいよ火の鳥の待つ十二湖のアカショウビン。素晴らしい自然、画像と非常に美しいアカショウビン。あっぱれ!! 美しい画像と素敵な音楽をありがとう。Finally, the Red Shore Kingfisher of Lake Twelve waits for the Phoenix. Amazing nature, images and a very beautiful red kingfisher. Awesome! ! Thank you for the beautiful images and nice music.
Thank you so much. But all the beauty comes from Juniko and its wonderful nature. It is a mysterious and quiet place, and it is wonderful to listen to AKASHOUBIN from early morning. The truth is that it takes hours to see him (or her) if we have luck. All lakes must be tried! Still, AKASHOUBIN has very strange feeding habits! Eating frog's eggs or snake or frog... Well at least it is a stunning bird ! Have a really nice day. It is going to be hot again...
Hello ! I saw it in the north of Honshu at a place called Juniko. The kingfishers are there for the summer only and then they go back to south east Asia. There are birding tours in Japan but they are arranged for well seasoned Japanese birdwatchers who only speak Japanese. There was a British birder living in Japan who did that sort of things but it was years ago. His name is Mark Brazil. He even published a field guide of the birds of Japan. You may ask though the responsible birding agencies in your country. Otherwise if you find yourself inJapan it’s the rainy season nearly everywhere. You can still try you luck in the city you are in by train or bus. But Google Earth helps to find the best « Shizen Koen » ( parks with wilderness left) with ponds for kingfishers. Don’t hesitate to ask me more. But it sure is easier in other countries. I wish you good luck 🤞 !
Thank you for sharing us nice video. It made me want to go on a trip to find wild birds. You spent a very precious time with the red kingfisher.The red kingfisher seems to come to the mountain in my town every summer, but unfortunately I have not seen it because of bad timing.
I’m very sorry: you would make a much better video than mine, but thank you so much. I heard the ruddy kingfisher elsewhere too but only saw it at Juniko after waiting hours. Thank you again!
A lovely video showing beautiful scenery which to my eyes shows a great deal of similarity between Wales and Japan. Of course the star of the show is the Ruddy Kingfisher, I had to use the Merlin app to identify it and discovered that it is quite rare in Japan and sought after by Japanese birders so many congratulations your fine footage.
Thank you John . I’m glad the surgery went alright. Little by little you’ll get rid of the crutches and back to tripod and p1000! Yes the ruddy kingfisher is extremely hard to find. It migrates to lakes well hidden from people where tree frogs lay eggs in trees. They eat the lot eggs or frogs. Not to mention the odd lizard. Juniko reminded you of Wales perhaps because it’s mainly beeches. And lakes. Only a part is open to the public but the rest is hermetically closed to preserve what’s left of the primary forest. Please relax well to be able to recover properly. All the best.
@@Nature_Watching_Japan Thank you once again Patricia, that’s great information about the unfortunate tree frogs. I had heard there were arboreal Kingfishers but this is the first I’ve seen.
You are so nice. To tell the truth I waited for ages and the kingfisher stayed for 30mn. Plenty of time to take good and bad photos and videos. I just would have liked to know if it was a he or a she! Have a nice week !
