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.
実はカエルも好きなんです。今が、繁殖のまっただ中で、あちこちからリュウキュウカジカガエルの鈴のような美しい鳴き声が聞こえてきます。^^
Male Ryukyu Kajika Frogs are all over the place.
I couldn't quite get a shot of one calling… ^^;
A small frog, about 30 mm.
A few couples here and there.
There was also a spider I couldn't quite identify. It seemed to be dipping its legs in the water, sensing vibrations to target small fish.
アオバズクが2羽いました。^^ 蚊も多くてまいりました…。
