カンムリワシのペア

3月も終盤となり、カップルのカンムリワシを見る機会が増えて来ました。活発に動き回る季節で、カンムリワシの交通事故も多くなります。ムラサキサギも婚姻色が出だしている個体が増えてきました。

春の渡りも徐々に進んでいます。シギが少しずつ増え、移動中と思われるツメナガセキレイの大群にも遭遇しました。

Crested Serpent Eagle

A pair of Crested Serpent Eagles. The male is on the left. The area where this pair lives is surrounded by farmland, so traffic accidents seem unlikely to be a concern.

Crested Serpent Eagle

The female of the same individual as above. The newly purchased FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS with the SEL14TC teleconverter attached produces sharp results even on distant subjects.

Purple Heron

Common Greenshank

The first Common Greenshanks of the season — a few birds arrived.

A flock of more than 100 Eastern Yellow Wagtails resting in a sugarcane field. They looked as though they had just arrived.
