アオシギ滞在2日目で大接近

警戒心の強いアオシギですが、気配を消して待っていたら長いことかかりましたが、近くまで来てくれました!! 強風が吹いて雨も降っていたのが警戒心を解くのに良かったと思われます。しかし、シャッターを切ったら音を警戒して遠ざかってしまった…。やっぱりジシギはいいですねー。

アオシギはまだ滞在2日目ですが、すでに越冬を期待しています。^^

Just as it puffed up, it gave itself a good shake. What a beautiful bird the Solitary Snipe is.

In this shot I was a bit further from the bird. This is what its normal body shape looks like.

At first it was like this — extremely alert even seen through gaps in the grass.

Common Snipe

Common Snipe is a fine bird too, but next to the beauty of a Solitary Snipe…

Yellow Bittern

There was also a female Ryukyu Little Bittern.
