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.
金環日蝕の観察できました。石垣島では部分日蝕ですが。
The clouds were in the way, but it peeked through for a moment.
Clouds in the way.
Toward the end the clouds cleared. The sunspots are visible too.
求愛給餌待ちなんだけど、最近このペアの縄張りにメスのアカショウビンが侵入してくるみたいで、ペアのメスが一生懸命追い払ってた。
ある学校の敷地では、求愛給餌してたけど、さすがに学校に600mmを向けるわけにはいかず…。
The colors are coming out nicely. Colors you only get in shade.
The 5D Mark II produces virtually no noise at around ISO400.
This red-purple is structural color, you know. The purple is considerably stronger than in Ruddy Kingfishers from the mainland.
Shutter speed 1/6. Pretty dark.
Head-on, it's not the most cute angle…
