石垣島でアオシギ!!

アオシギ飛来!! 本土でもアオシギが各地で確認されていますが、石垣島にも入りました!!

ジシギ類の中で最も好きな種です。アオシギかっこいいなー。^^

アオシギは、アカアシシギやクサシギと一緒に水場で餌を取っていました。願わくばもっといい条件で撮影しなおしたいので越冬してくれることを願っています。

あちこちの田んぼにはタゲリがいます。ほとんどが幼鳥。

アトリは、農地の通行量が少ない道路で餌をとっていた。1羽だけで寂しそうな個体でした。

Solitary Snipe

A Solitary Snipe at rest. It's too wary for me to get any closer. What a fine bird, though.

Northern Lapwings can be found in paddy fields here and there.

Just a single Brambling. I wonder if it got separated from its flock and can't continue its migration.
