Red Collared Dove, Common Myna, Crested Serpent Eagle, Whiskered Tern
Red Collared Doves turned up at two locations, four birds in total. Grey Wagtail is also a first for the season. From here on, migrants with a distinctly autumnal feel will keep arriving on Ishigaki one after another.
Painted Snipe were at two locations — two males and two females. In this paddy it was one male and two females.
Once they drop into the paddy, the tiny Painted Snipe are almost completely hidden like this…
The first Grey Wagtail of the season. Spotted several individuals.
Common Myna, which breeds mainly around the airport. One caught a large Acrida grasshopper.
A Crested Serpent Eagle in a pineapple field. It was eating an Asian Common Toad.
Cinnamon Bitterns can be seen here and there every day. With both adults and juveniles around in good numbers, this is the easiest time of year to find them.
Whiskered Terns also confirmed at multiple locations.
