頭の白いカンムリワシ
北部の沢沿いに頭の白いカンムリワシがいました。たぶん、初めて見た個体。
Is it naturally white, or has the colour faded out?
There is a stream below here, and it is lying in wait for prey.
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.

小雨の振る中、土の中のゴキブリを食っていました。ヤツガシラはかなりの健啖家。大量の昆虫を食っています。カンムリワシとは大違いだなー。^^;
After stretching, it fanned out its proud crest. Now that's a Eurasian Hoopoe!!
It keeps pecking up cockroaches it finds in the soil. I always think I'll count how many it eats per minute, but there are always too many to keep up with. ^^;
The decisive moment, straight on. ^^
A Eurasian Hoopoe stretching. What a flamboyant bird. ^^;
