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.

オジロトウネン5羽とヒバリシギ3羽の混群が田んぼにいました。足が黄色い小型シギ同士仲がいいのだろうか。シギ、チドリの少ない金武でしたが、タシギが少しとコチドリはたくさんいます。
コチドリの高速足踏み採餌行動を動画に撮ってみました。スローで再生してみると最大で1秒間に20回ほど足踏みをしています。おそるべしコチドリダンス。獲物も次々と獲得していました。
