いつも複数羽で渡ってくるけど、今回は単独でした。
It's such a striking wader that it stands out even in the rice paddies. ^^

クロハラアジサシで飛びもの練習
牧草地でクロハラアジサシが2羽餌探し。
I thought it was fluttering along lazily, then it made a sharp turn and snatched a grasshopper.
Winter plumage. There were individuals in summer plumage too, but they were resting in the paddies and didn't fly. ^^;

カンムリワシ飛翔と保護個体
今日のカンムリワシも子カメを食いまくり。 2時間で3匹捕まえてた。^^
It has a turtle gripped in its left foot. It seemed to dislike eating in the mud, so it carried it over to the berm.
After eating the turtle, it moved on to its favourite hunting ground. I can pretty much predict the flight path of this individual. ^^
A Crested Serpent Eagle with a leg ring marked 'C'. Rescued on 15 January 2011 — could this be "Shy"?
I can see the letter 'C' on the right foot. Could this be "Shy"?
