Common Hoopoe, White's Thrush, Malayan Night Heron, Daurian Redstart (video)
The Common Hoopoe that arrived on February 24 was still present. Once startled into the woods, it tends not to come back out for a while.
White's Thrush has been unusually numerous across Japan this season, and Ishigaki Island is no exception — birds are being reported all over the place. They're large and impressive.
The Eurasian Hoopoe that has been present since yesterday was raising its crest frequently. I wish it would move somewhere a little more peaceful….
Perched on the artificial log right in front of me.
A Scaly Thrush that has completely lost its wariness. Reactions to people vary enormously from individual to individual.
An adult Malayan Night Heron. The breeding season is approaching, and they will soon be showing their vivid nuptial colours.
Daurian Redstarts were increasing. I suspect they are birds moving through on migration.
