カンムリワシ捕食
発見した時は、バンを水中で掴んでいました。カンムリワシもバンを襲うことあるんですねー。シロハラクイナの雛を襲うところは見たことあったけど…。^^;
After pulling it out of the water it carried it to a dead branch, then moved off with it into the undergrowth.

シギの仲間(動画あり)
冬に渡ってくるシギの仲間です。
A small flock of Common Redshanks.
Lately the Common Greenshanks tend to be on their own.
Pacific Golden Plovers stand like ornaments on the wide lawn.
It was so small I thought — a Jack Snipe?! — but it is a Common Snipe. ^^;
About eight Common Snipe were bathing and foraging together.
A favourite sandpiper of mine. ^^

ハヤブサのペア(動画あり)
ほとんど毎日、同じ場所に2羽でいます。きょうは、オスがシロハラクイナを捕まえた直後のようでした。もう少し早ければ狩りが見られたかも。
It is plucking the feathers off a White-breasted Waterhen.
Male on the left, female on the right.

ヤツガシラ抜けています
天気が良いのでヤツガシラはどんどん目的地へ渡っているようです。
仕事中に1羽だけかろうじていました。^^;
Something seemed to be on the other side of the dead leaves, and it was raising its crest frequently.

珍鳥、冬のカッコウ
夏場に2回ほど見たことがありますが、冬に見たのは初めてです。越冬個体なんでしょうか?
It was so incredibly far away that I used a 2× extender and cropped heavily on top of that. ^^;
At first I thought it was a large Japanese Sparrowhawk and raised my binoculars, then realised it was a Common Cuckoo and scrambled to shoot it… ^^;
