新緑の中のリュウキュウアオバズク

美しいモモタマナの緑の中にアオバズクがいました。11日夜から12日朝にかけて猛烈な台風6号が八重山地方を襲うので、この美しいモモタマナの葉も、もぎ取られてしまうかもしれません。

今日から16日まで愛鳥週間。野鳥愛護と自然保護に勤しみましょう!!

この日は、先日、マイフィールドで知り合った写真家と同行しました。やはり、プロの方は集中力と撮影時のオーラが違いますね。

The strong sunlight caused a heavy green cast, making processing quite difficult. ^^; Since I only had the 600mm, I backed up as far as I could and got this size. Next time I'll bring the 200mm.

The Brown Hawk-Owl is an owl that suits greenery.
