越冬中のアオシギ 3カ月経過

昨年の11月から石垣島で滞在中のアオシギ は滞在3カ月を超えました。

騒がしい息子を連れての鳥見だったのでアオシギまでの距離が詰められず、点のようにしか写せませんでしたが、確認できてよかったよかった。^^

アオシギは非常に美しいシギです。 一番寄れた時 の感動は今でも忘れません。^^

交通量のそこそこある県道沿いには3羽のズグロミゾゴイが出ていました。2月に入ってからは同じ場所で毎日のように現れています。交通事故が心配。

About 110 metres to the Solitary Snipe. It was so far away I had to crop heavily… ^^;
