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.
やっと巣立ちです。3羽のうち、1羽だけ巣立ちました。^^
It climbed and climbed, and then fledged.
It was wandering all around the treetops, exploring. ^^
The remaining two are still being fed at the nest.
昨夜巣立ちしたコノハズクのヒナ をなんとか見つけられました。しかし、うまいこと隠れるもんだ。^^
A fledgling Ryukyu Scops Owl deep in the undergrowth. Seeing them in daylight gives a completely different impression.
The female Ryukyu Scops Owl was also there about a metre away, but I could only make out her silhouette and wasn't able to get a shot.
At this nesting site, the female has finally come out of the nest completely. She's not used to me yet, so she's a little wary.
Maybe about one more week until fledging.
