ベニバト、アカガシラサギ、オオヨシキリ

昨日のベニバト4羽 は今朝も健在。アカガシラサギも引き続き滞在中です。

ベニバトを見ているとオオヨシキリ1羽が現れました。ある程度、飛来しているようですが、姿を見る機会がなかなかないので嬉しいですね。

Eurasian Collared Dove

Adult male Ruddy-breasted Crake. It is transitioning from breeding to non-breeding plumage. That said, the difference isn't as dramatic as with sandpipers or plovers, so it's hard to tell — but you can see that several winter-plumage feathers have come in.

Chinese Pond Heron

Rufous Night Heron in non-breeding plumage. The third individual of the season.

Great Reed Warbler

A Oriental Reed Warbler that perched in the same tree while I was watching the Ruddy-breasted Crakes.

Great Reed Warbler

A juvenile Japanese Sparrowhawk has been hanging around the area lately, so the birds are on alert.
