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.
ふつうのズグロミゾゴイの虹彩は黄色ですが、この個体は暗色でした。カンムリワシは2羽ほどいますが、ズグロミゾゴイでは初めて見ました。
The iris colour is different, and the overall impression is quite distinct from other Malayan Night Herons I've seen. It was catching earthworms in a pasture.
This individual was in the same pasture. The iris is yellow.
ホシムクドリとムクドリの20羽ぐらいの混群がいました。群れは日によって、大きくなったり小さくなったりします。
In good light you can see a metallic sheen — on a nice day, anyway.
It had been probing the turf with its bill looking for food, so its head was quite dirty.
