GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.
先日見つけたリュウキュウヨシゴイ に再挑戦してきました。やはり、ほとんど同じ場所に出てきた。
今日は、比較的警戒心が薄く、写真も撮らせてくれた。警戒心が薄いといっても1200mmで撮って、さらにトリミングですが…。^^;
This form is just indescribably charming. It reminds me of something, but I can't quite place it… ^^;
A Ryukyu Least Bittern on slight alert. Give it a little space and it goes right back to normal.

Whiskered Terns wheeling over the paddies and fields. Numbers were low early in the morning. As the sun rose, they appeared from nowhere and built up to the usual count.
