クロツラヘラサギとヘラサギとオオヒシクイの田んぼ

崎枝の水田地帯にクロツラヘラサギとヘラサギとオオヒシクイが集合していました。^^ 道が悪いのであまり入りたくない感じの田んぼです…。

5羽のオオヒシクイは警戒心がかなり強いです。数日前、イノシシ狩りの人や猟犬が入っていましたが、戻ってきたようです。

Black-faced Spoonbill
Black-faced Spoonbill / Eurasian Spoonbill

Eurasian Spoonbill and Black-faced Spoonbill. The Eurasian Spoonbill is a size larger than the Black-faced Spoonbill.

Eurasian Spoonbill, juvenile. Perhaps because it was a juvenile, it followed the Black-faced Spoonbill around and stayed with it the whole time.
