カラムクドリ、ベニバト、アカガシラサギなど
市街地に近い田んぼに寄ったらカラムクドリ、ベニバト、アカガシラサギ、ムネアカタヒバリ、ヒバリ、ツメナガセキレイなどがいました。ちょっとした空き時間にも鳥見ができるのが石垣島のいいところです。^^
A female Daurian Starling appeared right in front of me.
This one is the male.
The male Pink-necked Green Pigeon was mixed in with a flock of Oriental Turtle Doves. A familiar sight on Ishigaki-jima.
A Chinese Pond Heron that has been wintering since last year. At least two are in the same paddy field.
Eurasian Skylark is a rare visitor not only to Ishigaki-jima but across Okinawa as a whole. While watching a flock of Red-throated Pipits I heard a call, so I searched from one end and found it.
Around 50 Red-throated Pipits are currently staying.
They are in various stages of moult, and many individuals still show strong reddish tones.
Eastern Yellow Wagtail, first-winter. About 20 of these were moving together with the Red-throated Pipits.
