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.
風もなく暑い日でしたが、ヤツガシラはまだいました。通常は1〜2日の滞在ですが、この個体は長くとどまる様子です。^^
The Eurasian Hoopoe seemed to be feeling the heat too, foraging in the shade as much as possible.
When a car passed, it was startled and perched in a tree.
先月の22日で見納めと思っていたアカショウビンに出会えました。^^
この時期のアカショウビンは嬉しいですねー。
A Ruddy Kingfisher hatched this year. It had apparently just eaten a slug or something — there was mucus around the base of its bill. ^^;
The darkening at the base of the bill is proof it was born this year.
