ベニバト、カタグロトビ、カンムリワシほか
今季はなかなか数が伸びないベニバトですが、やっと複数羽で入りました。これで6羽目ぐらいの確認です。
カタグロトビは最近、成鳥2羽、幼鳥1羽と複数羽で現れます。この日は2羽が田んぼを乱舞。小鳥たちを蹴散らしていました。
カンムリワシは今年の幼鳥は少なめですが、成鳥との出会いはだんだん増えて来ました。自宅からも鳴き声がよく聞こえます。
農耕地には小鳥も飛来。ムネアカタヒバリ、ツメナガセキレイ、アトリなどを確認。アトリは今季初の撮影となりました。
Two male Cream-coloured Doves. A female had also been present a few days earlier.
Several raptors were in the area, and the birds — including the Cream-coloured Doves — looked unsettled.
Black-winged Kite, adult. Two birds, presumably a pair, perched on a power line. The individuals here have become used to cars and motorbikes passing by and no longer flush.
A Crested Serpent Eagle near my home.
Brambling — my first shots of the season. Two birds were associating with Red-throated Pipits and others.
Red-throated Pipits are increasing in number.
White-browed Wagtails and Eastern Yellow Wagtails are roosting together in mixed groups. Juveniles are difficult to identify.
Little Egret, juvenile. Whether it's dirt or a colour morph, I'm not sure.
