2羽に増えたソリハシセイタカシギ、越冬中のアオシギほか

先日、単独で飛来したソリハシセイタカシギ が場所を変えて2羽に数を増やしていました。^^

2羽はあまり離れることなく餌を取っていました。

沖縄では珍しいハジロカイツブリがいました。ミミカイツブリかとも思ったのですが…。

アオシギも誰にも邪魔されずに順調に越冬中。

Pied Avocet

Adult female (right) and juvenile Pied Avocet.

They were occasionally squabbling over food.

The two were side by side, showing synchronised behaviour.

Solitary Snipe

A Solitary Snipe that had been in the same spot despite my concern after the heavy rain that fell for several days prior had caused water levels to rise.

Black-necked Grebe

I was unsure whether it was a Black-necked Grebe or a Horned Grebe, but it appears to be a Black-necked Grebe. First time I've seen one on Ishigaki Island. ^^ Probably the first record for Ishigaki Island.
