数羽の群れがあちこちに。
Moulting has begun and it's looking rather scruffy. ^^;
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.

求愛シーズンなのですが、カップルになかなか巡り合えず。
Looks cold, body and soul… ^^;
Is this one single too, I wonder?
道路沿いの芝生にクロウタドリが。島内2カ所は毎年渡ってくるな。もう1カ所は牧場。シロハラやアカハラと同じような環境が好きなようです。
A jet-black bird. With birds that are pure black or pure white, they look better without direct sunlight hitting them. ^^
ヤツガシラの季節がやってきました。3羽見たのですが、写真におさめられたのは2羽だけ。
公園でトラツグミも見たんだけど、数秒現れた後、薮に入って出てこなくなりました…。^^;
I was driving along when I spotted a Eurasian Hoopoe being relentlessly chased by a crow, so I followed them. ^^
A Eurasian Hoopoe was perched in a banyan tree in the park. Afterwards it was startled by a person and flew off somewhere.
昨日とは別の場所にヤツガシラいました。1羽だけ。^^
A Eurasian Hoopoe with adorable round little eyes.
It buries its bill this deep into the ground when foraging!!
Impressive crest.
Taking a rest in the shade. ^^
