具志干潟と三角池でバードウオッチング
最近の具志干潟と三角池。具志干潟には、越冬オオソリハシシギが2羽。ミサゴは、次々と現れ魚を捕まえていく。最大で10羽ほどが乱舞します。カワセミもオスとメスで2羽。この辺りで繁殖するのだろうか?
干潟に現れたフイリマングースはシオマネキの仲間を襲って食っていた。
三角池には、クロツラヘラサギやコガモ、ハシビロガモ、タシギ、オオバンなどいつものメンバー。シマアジも1羽いるのですが、カモたちがお昼寝タイムだと探すのがなかなか大変…。^^;
An Osprey dives and plunges in.
It caught a medium-sized mullet.
This one grabbed what looked like a large black sea bream, but it was too heavy to get airborne and released it partway.
An Osprey plunging in hard and submerging about one metre.
Continued from above. It came up empty and gave me a resentful look. ^^;
A Bar-tailed Godwit crosses in front of an Osprey mid-meal.
Two Common Kingfishers have taken up residence at the river mouth. This is the male.
A flock of Pacific Golden Plovers was foraging right in front of me.
A Small Asian Mongoose that appeared on the Gushi tidal flat was attacking fiddler crabs.
More than ten Black-faced Spoonbills were resting at Sankakuike.
Rescued individuals J15 and E24 are also wintering in good health.
