Citrine Wagtail, Little Bunting and More
With the year-end rush on, I have no time to go out birding!! I'm dashing around Ishigaki Island and Yonaguni Island, watching birds out of the corner of my eye.
Here are a few species I photographed on the move: two Citrine Wagtails, a flock of several dozen Little Buntings, Dusky Thrushes and Amur Stonechats.
Long-tailed Shrike and a juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle have also turned up, but I don't have time to go and see them... ^^;
Citrine Wagtail in the rice fields. This year was a good year for Citrine Wagtails.
Two Citrine Wagtails were mixed in with a flock of Eastern Yellow Wagtails.
Little Bunting photographed on a work trip to Yonaguni Island. Dozens are wintering in the rice fields at Hikawa.
Stonechats are also wintering on Yonaguni Island. The white supercilium gave me a momentary scare, but it's a young Stonechat.
Dusky Thrush, male. At Yonaguni Island. There were many near the fishing port at Kubura.
