米須海岸でシギチ、アジサシほか
小笠原諸島から昨日帰ってきて、米須海岸に行ってきました。
EOS-1D X Mark II も届いたのでテストがてらクロハラアジサシやミサゴの飛びもの。オバシギ、ウズラシギ、コアオアシシギなどを観察してきました。やっぱり沖縄がいいね!!
From the EOS-1D X Mark II onward, all-point autofocus works at f/8, so I gave it a test. I photographed White-winged Terns flying around the coast. Conditions were good, but the tracking was spot-on.
The Osprey coming straight at me is also in sharp focus. This too is the 600mm with a 2× extender at f/8, autofocus. The EOS-1D X Mark II is feeling good.
At first I couldn't tell what it was, but a look through the binoculars revealed a Great Knot.
There was also one Pectoral Sandpiper.
About ten Marsh Sandpipers.
There were roughly as many Common Greenshanks as Marsh Sandpipers.
A few Little Terns as well.
Gray-tailed Tattler. It looks like winter plumage — what's going on?
