Blue-and-white Flycatcher After a Long While
I had a work trip to Yonaguni Island, so I did some birdwatching in my free time. I got bird information from someone staying long-term on Yonaguni, but it seems I arrived right in the gap between waves — the birds typical of Yonaguni had already moved through. I did manage to see a Blue Rock Thrush that had been present for about three weeks. ^^
An adult male Blue Rock Thrush. It has been staying for quite a long time — about three weeks at this point.
It was catching insects in the air.
White Wagtails were everywhere. For some reason, all males.
A flock of Eastern Yellow Wagtails had moved into an open area near the coast. They are very commonly seen in the Yaeyama Islands, but this flock seemed to have just arrived at Yonaguni Island, and it gave a real sense of the spring migration.
A flock of Olive-backed Pipits had moved into the farm track.
A Pacific Golden Plover was alone in the grassland along the coast.
