カンムリワシ幼鳥、チョウセンチョウゲンボウ、ジャワアカガシラサギ、ソリハシセイタカシギほか
今季はなかなか安定して見られないカンムリワシの幼鳥が農耕地にいました。数日前から滞在のチョウセンチョウゲンボウは牧草地が気に入ったようで落ち着いた様子で狩りをしていました。
ジャワアカガシラサギは長逗留中ですが、夏羽に変わる前の3月ごろにいなくなるのが近年の傾向です。
ソリハシセイタカシギは4カ所で6羽が滞在中。こちらは、いつまでいるでしょうか。

A male Ryukyu Striated Heron I came across in the mountains. What on earth is it doing in a place like this?
