ジャワアカガシラサギ、今季初オジロトウネン(動画あり)

数日前からジャワアカガシラサギが滞在。台風接近でしばらくは足止め食らうでしょう。

台風の風が当たらない田んぼの片隅でオジロトウネンやトウネン、ヒバリシギ、ハマシギが餌をとっていました。背の高いセイタカシギは台風の風にあおられながらも飛ばされないように踏ん張っていました。

ムナグロは増えていますが、いまだ幼鳥の到着は確認できず…。

With the wind and rain so strong, the bird showed almost no wariness and kept coming closer and closer.

Typhoon No. 11 looks set to affect the area for several days, so hopefully it will stay around that long.
