ヤツガシラ、アカツクシガモ、ツクシガモ(動画あり)
数日前から滞在中のヤツガシラを見てきました。警戒心の全くない個体でした。
アカツクシガモとツクシガモも長期滞在中。田植えも始まっているのでそろそろ移動でしょうか。
Eurasian Hoopoe. Judging by the arrival numbers so far, I have a feeling this spring will bring a lot of Hoopoes to Ishigaki.
A Eurasian Hoopoe that caught a cockroach. Cockroaches are the main food of Hoopoes on Ishigaki.
A relaxed Eurasian Hoopoe. Distance: a few metres.
A Ruddy Shelduck that has been staying since last year. There are around five individuals on the island.
Common Shelduck, adult male in breeding plumage. An adult male visiting Ishigaki is unusual.
