Ruddy Shelduck, Red Collared Dove, Pied Avocet and More
Following last year, Ruddy Shelduck has arrived again this year. This season there are two birds and they are extremely wary.
The Red Collared Dove from the other day has now been here for 10 days. It's probably unable to move on due to bad weather.
The Pied Avocet present since 26 October is also still lingering — 10 days for that bird as well.
It was skittish, taking flight every time a rental car approached.

A different individual from the one above. Also a female.
After the harvest, many Oriental Turtle Doves gather in the paddies to pick up fallen grain — and on Ishigaki, there is almost always a Crimson Sunbird among them.
Crimson Sunbirds and Oriental Turtle Doves that had taken refuge at the forest edge, startled by a raptor.
The Pied Avocets that have been staying for a long time. There are two of them, but they are being harassed by a raptor.
A Hen Harrier appeared in the strong wind. The Black-winged Stilts and Eurasian Teals panicked.
A juvenile Ryukyu Sparrowhawk that appeared while I was watching the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo.
A small number of Grey-streaked Flycatchers are also lingering.
Juvenile Common Coot. There are a few white feathers around the neck. Partial albinism?
