サシバの渡り終わり

サシバの渡りも終盤に差し掛かったようで、今日の野底岳は、午前6時半から午前9時半までの間に100羽を少し超える程度でした。最大の群れでも30羽ほど。

代わりにヒシクイが3羽渡って行きました。

アマミヤマガラやリュウキュウコゲラ、メジロなどが展望台の近くに多く現れる一日でした。

Killing time by photographing Varied Tits coming around the observation deck. Apparently the Varied Tit found on Okinawa-hontō is the Amami Varied Tit.
