ハイイロチュウヒ、クロツラヘラサギ、アカガシラサギ、タイワンハクセキレイほか
ハイイロチュウヒが目の前で狩りをしていました。狙いは何かわかりませんが、驚いたコウライキジがなん度も飛び出してきて、獲物はとれないようでした…。^^; 一緒に見た娘は、ハイイロチュウヒが身を翻すと翼が風を切る音が聞こえるほどの迫力に喜んでいました。^^
水路には越冬中のクロツラヘラサギ、田んぼには複数のアカガシラサギ、ズグロカモメとユリカモメのランデヴー飛行と子どもには楽しいバードウオッチングとなりました。
A Hen Harrier quartering the rice paddies in search of prey.
It was wheeling around so close it nearly filled the frame. The paddy birds were in total panic.
It didn't manage to catch anything in the end, but the dynamic flight was well worth watching.
A Black-faced Spoonbill resting in a canal.
Multiple Chinese Pond Herons are staying.
First-winter Taiwanese Wagtail. Staying alongside a White Wagtail.
My first Saunders's Gull of the season. It was with a Black-headed Gull but looked a little put out. ^^;
