春の渡りのヤツガシラ、農耕地に4個体(動画あり)
ヤツガシラ3羽を農耕地で発見しました。遠くを飛び去る個体を入れると4羽。これで沖縄本島でのヤツガシラは今季10羽確認したことになります。
沖縄本島に赴任してきて3年目。1、2年目は全く見つからなかったヤツガシラは、今年は南部から北部まで各地で見つけられました。当たり年なのか今まで探す場所が悪かったのか…。
A Eurasian Hoopoe that struck a pose for me on the lawn.
There were two of them — one blurred in the foreground.
This Eurasian Hoopoe was alone. After feeding, it was relaxing up in a Chinaberry tree.
It was a little wary of the farmer, but didn't fly off — after a short while it was back to searching earnestly for food.
Whether it had just arrived from migration or not, even when a light truck passed right in front of it, this Eurasian Hoopoe sat down and stayed put for some time.
It was rooting out cockroaches from soil that a wild boar had turned over.
It drops prey it had tossed up and tried to swallow. Tired from the long journey, perhaps?
Startled by a motorbike, it flew up into a tree. Its body is sleeked down from the tension. ^^

The two Eurasian Hoopoes moving together kept their distance from each other and wouldn't line up side by side….
Spotted a Eurasian Hoopoe flying in the distance. Including this individual, I was able to confirm four birds in the same area.
