久しぶりにミヤマガラス飛来

以前は、冬になるとある程度の群れで飛来していたミヤマガラスがここ数年は確認できずにいましたが、今季は3羽がやってきました。時折、オサハシブトガラスの群れと合流していました。

Rook

Rooks with not much wariness. Three birds, all juveniles. Moulting into first-winter plumage.

Large-billed Crow

They had joined up with the Yaeyama endemic subspecies of Large-billed Crow.

Rook (left) and Large-billed Crow. The Rook is a size smaller than the Large-billed Crow, but the Yaeyama subspecies is a small one, so the two were nearly the same size.

White Wagtail

White-browed Wagtail, first-winter plumage.

Siberian Stonechat

A Siberian Stonechat that has caught a spider.

Not in large numbers, but Siberian Stonechats trickle through Ishigaki-jima at a leisurely pace.
