ホオジロハクセキレイ

沖縄本島南部にてシベリアハクセキレイ!! と思って撮影しましたが、よく見るとホオジロハクセキレイの冬羽から夏羽へ換羽中のようです。ハクセキレイの亜種の識別は難しいですね。^^;

一昨日のムナグロが1羽もいなくなりましたが、本日、見に行くと数十羽いました。違う群れが入ったのか?

ツバメチドリ は全て抜けていましたが、糸満市に数羽いました。

三角池にはセイタカシギぐらいしかいません…。^^;

I thought it was a White Wagtail, but it turned out to be a White-faced Wagtail moulting from winter to summer plumage.
