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.
シロハラに少し遅れてアカハラも入ってきました。ジョウビタキは感じのいい石の上から餌を探したり、たまに囀ったりしていました。
600mm lens with a 2× teleconverter — 1200mm. Shutter speed was 1/80, so all I could do was try to keep it steady.
There are lots of Naumann's Thrushes in lawns and along rice paddy ridges.
きょうは、カンムリワシの幼鳥が3羽観察できました。撮影地の名蔵の水田地帯は、幼鳥が数羽で入れ替わり立ち替わり。多い時で4羽いたそうです。
For a moment it did something like a hover. After that, it was eating something in the grass.
A Crested Serpent Eagle I photographed together with my mentor. Unfortunately a white pole crept into the background, so I had to crop. ^^;
Incidentally, my mentor has confirmed 12 individual juvenile birds. Impressive.
I thought they were going to fight, but it was resolved peacefully.
When the Crested Serpent Eagle flew, red bee-like insects flew up from the ground. The red thing visible just below and to the right of the eagle is one of them. I wonder what they are?
I let my guard down and it crossed right alongside the car. ^^;
Only one adult.
