シロハラ、カンムリワシ、クロツラヘラサギは動画あり

1週間ぐらい前から鳴き声が聞こえているシロハラでしが、底地ビーチには随分人慣れしたシロハラがいました。ビーチの防風林を歩いていて、足元でガサガサしているのは、最初ネズミかと思ったらシロハラでした。底地ビーチの防風林には数羽のシロハラがいました。昨年も11月半ばから鳴き声が聞こえ始め、 11月22日に初撮影 でした。

浦田原にはクロツラヘラサギが、白水ではカンムリワシの幼鳥が餌を探していました。

My first Pale Thrush photos of the season. I've been hearing Pale Thrushes calling on migration at night for about a week now.

A very confiding individual — I could get to within about two metres. Unusual for a Pale Thrush, which is normally quite wary.

Black-faced Spoonbill
Black-faced Spoonbill

At the rice paddies of Uradahara, a Black-faced Spoonbill was sweeping its bill from side to side in search of food. Small pond snails appeared to be its main prey.
