今季初のハリオシギ

今季初となるハリオシギを確認しました。例年なら4月に入ってからの飛来なので1カ月以上早い登場となりました。今季はアカショウビンもすでに石垣島に到着しており、季節が早く進んでいる印象です。

2月22日追記

典型的なハリオシギですが、今季初なので翌日、念のため 尾羽を撮ってきました 。これで晴れて保証書付きとなりました。^^

Pin-tailed Snipe
Pin-tailed Snipe

The first Pin-tailed Snipe of the season. An easy-to-read individual. It did not move at all from the grass, then when a Black-winged Kite appeared it hid completely in the undergrowth.
