春の渡りでカラシラサギ3羽飛来
世界的に数が少なく貴重なカラシラサギ3羽が飛来していました。海岸を軽やかに跳ねながら小魚などをとっているようでした。
5月に入ってから島の海岸や河口などで断続的に観察されています。石垣島の春の渡りのカラシラサギは6月にかけてよく観察されます。
The Chinese Egret appeared to be walking along the coast at low tide, picking up small fish and crustaceans.

The local tough of the shoreline — a Pacific Reef Heron — showed up and gave me a start, and I jumped. ^^
This Chinese Egret caught a small goby.
Targeting prey in the water. The hunt failed after this. ^^;
Walking across a sea turned brown by heavy rain.
Whether it's because they're passing through on migration or just their nature, Chinese Egrets don't chase other individuals around the way Pacific Reef Herons do.

Tossed up and swallowed whole.
