GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.
求愛給餌まではいかなかったけど、必死に甘え鳴きをしていました。まだ、オスがその気じゃないのかなー。
The male keeps coming close but isn't bringing any food. The female is ready and waiting, though.
A Ryukyu Besra is nesting nearby, and the Ruddy Kingfisher flinches every time the Besra flies overhead.
Since the male isn't bringing food, she's out hunting on her own.
今日もメスが甘え鳴きするもオスは餌を持ってこない…。
A Ruddy Kingfisher keeping a wary eye on the Besra.
Crop of the photo above. I wonder what it can see in those eyes….
It perched on a tree it never usually uses. What's going on?
今日は天気わるかったなー。明日は、金環日蝕なんだけど晴れるのだろうか…。
Together with last year's individual. Shutter speed 1.3 seconds!! Yes, I got the aperture wrong….
Caught a cicada larva!!
Waited over an hour, but the male never showed….
