Ashy Drongo Wintering; Eight Pied Avocets
An Ashy Drongo has been wintering on Ishigaki since the new year. I watched it catch something from the Hymenoptera from a power line. Black Drongos can be seen here every year, but an Ashy Drongo on Ishigaki is an unusual sighting — particularly in winter.
A Eurasian Curlew, an unusual visitor, had also turned up at the river mouth.
A White-bellied Drongo was frequently coming out onto the power lines and making flying catches of insects in the air. It's already in wintering mode and looks set to stay a good while.
The first bird I photographed in the new year was a Far Eastern Curlew. It was a notably unwary individual.
A Pied Avocet also lingering since the New Year. Wintering here too, it seems.
