クロハラアジサシ飛翔

熱研近くの宮良川をクロハラアジサシが上流と下流を行ったり来たりしながら餌となるバッタなどを捕まえていました。橋の上に車を止めて橋を越えようと私と同じ目線になったところで撮影しました。なぜかクロハラアジサシは橋の下をくぐらずに必ず高度を上げて橋を越えていきます。

Whiskered Tern

White-winged Tern in winter plumage. They look like they're fluttering along lazily, but the approach speed is surprisingly fast and they're overhead and gone in an instant. ^^; Even so, the autofocus on the 1D X and 600mm combo locked onto the White-winged Tern and never let go. ^^

Whiskered Tern

Fully in winter plumage — the salt-and-pepper head. ^^

Grey-faced Buzzard

They occasionally rest on the bridge railing, but the moment a Grey-faced Buzzard passes overhead they all take off at once.
