南城市佐敷干潟にて

南城市の佐敷干潟に行ってきました。ヘラサギの幼鳥が1羽でいました。

ミサゴは餌をどこかで獲ってきてはこの場所で食うようで、3羽のミサゴが思いおもいの場所に降りて干渉し合うこともなく獲物の魚を食っていました。

The Eurasian Spoonbill was feeding on crabs and other prey in this kind of shallow water.

This Osprey is eating an even larger fish. The third Osprey came down on a distant beach, so I wasn't able to get a photo.
