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.
まだまだ気温が高いので、あまり集まっていませんでした。
Even on a well-populated branch, around 20 individuals at most. ^^;
They take flight when approached.
When I open and close my hand, the Ideopsis similis moves its wings in time with it.
The wintering grounds are streams like this.
The trees growing here are larger than in other valleys. I wonder if they've been here a long time?
あやぱにばまらしょうり びるぱにばしいだしょうり
しょんがつぬすとぅむでぃ ぐゎんじつぬあさぱな
あがるかいとびちぃけ てぃだばかめまいちぃけ
というわけで、今年もよろしくお願いします。
Sunset light would have been better, but here's a Ryukyu Robin caught in the evening sun. ^^
A juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle running about energetically on New Year's Day.
It had caught a land crab.
First sunset of the year. ^^
