あすは白露、サギの渡り
あすは白露です。きょうの夕方、浦田原を通るとバンナ岳の頂上付近から何やら大きめの鳥の群れがこちらへ向かってきます。双眼鏡で覗いてみるとアマサギ数百羽の大きな群れでした。コサギやチュウダイサギなども少し交ざっているようでした。
8月下旬から増えつつあるサギの仲間ですが、ここへきてどっと数を増やしたようです。
It had come down to rest in the rice fields, then flushed suddenly when startled by a passing walker.
A flock of egrets descending into the rice fields after crossing Mt. Banna.
After circling several times it came down at Uratabaru.
The large flocks merged into one, and the sight of several hundred birds wheeling together was breathtaking.
A flock of egrets circling high in the sky. There were so many that they wouldn't all fit in the frame.
