Lesser Whistling Duck, Chinese Pond Heron, and Grey-headed Lapwing
The Lesser Whistling Duck, visible every day. On this day it was particularly wary — both in the morning and in the evening, only the top of its head and neck were visible above the vegetation…
Chinese Pond Heron had also arrived, along with Grey-headed Lapwing, a scarce visitor to Okinawa and the Yaeyamas.
A Ryukyu Duck, just its face showing.
A Eurasian Coot (foreground) and a Ryukyu Duck. The Ryukyu Duck was on guard that day and barely showed itself.
A Chinese Pond Heron in nearly full summer plumage. Large numbers have arrived again this season.
A Grey-headed Lapwing — one of very few on Ishigakijima — arrived. It looked a little tired.
