Mainly introducing wild birds of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, through photos.

豊崎でムネアカタヒバリ、ムナグロ、シロチドリ

自宅から一番近いオオチドリのポイントを巡回してきましたが、残念ながらいませんでした。春の渡り組のムネアカタヒバリ20やムナグロ30、シロチドリ10などは造成地で休んでいました。与那国島や石垣島ではオオチドリが観察されていますので、沖縄本島へも間も無くでしょう。

This one is also almost fully in breeding plumage.

Pacific Golden Plover

Pacific Golden Plovers are still in winter dress. Among a flock of about 30, not a single bird had changed into breeding plumage. Perhaps from next month we'll start to see some in their beautiful breeding plumage mixed in.

Kentish Plover

A female Kentish Plover. This year too, around the Golden Week holidays in May, we should be able to see her with adorable chicks in tow. ^^
