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.
田んぼにはシギがすこーしずつ入ってきています。白水地区ではアオアシシギ、コアオアシシギ、タカブシギ、クサシギなどがいました。
シロハラクイナはヒナを数羽連れて餌探し。
A few Common Greenshanks were in the paddies together.
I thought there was an unusual wader, and it turned out to be a Marsh Sandpiper.
Wood Sandpipers are everywhere in the paddies, in good numbers.
A White-breasted Waterhen was foraging with chicks in tow.
台風後でカンムリワシが姿をよく見せてくれました。白水の水田地帯では台風の被害でしょうか、片目が失明したカンムリワシがいました。
It appeared to be blind in the left eye. Even when I approached, it seemed to see nothing at all.
It was eating a small Ryukyu Black-breasted Leaf Turtle.
The usual pair of Crested Serpent Eagles was on the Kadada forest road.
