雨の中、カンムリワシとズグロミゾゴイ

今日は、一日中雨でした。風も吹き付けているので、野鳥はあまり見られず、カンムリワシが数羽とチョウゲンボウ、シロハラ、イソヒヨドリ、ハチジョウツグミが観察できた程度です。

This Malayan Night Heron was at Yonehara Beach, and remarkably, it had been hand-fed by a local man from the neighbourhood. A crow and the night heron were amicably receiving food from him together.
