愛知県で鳥見
子どもたちの夏休みに合わせて帰省。ついでにオオジシギを探しに行きましたが、惨敗でした。それでもセグロセキレイやヒバリ、ケリ、トビなど石垣島では見られない鳥たちを見ることができましたので、よしとしましょう。
Heard that distinctive call and went looking — found two Japanese Wagtails on a distant greenhouse. There are a handful of records for Okinawa Island, but none yet for Ishigaki.
Black Kite records are rare on Ishigaki too; it feels like one turns up maybe once every few years. There are plenty of Black-winged Kites, though… ^^;
A Grey-headed Lapwing turns up on Ishigaki about once a year. They breed in rice paddies all over Aichi Prefecture — must be nice.
