ハチジョウツグミ
ハチジョウツグミやツグミ、シロハラなど渡ってきてから2カ月近く経っているので警戒心は薄れています。
This Naumann's Thrush was particularly approachable and kept wandering around close by.
GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.

島の東側に多いヤツガシラですが、今回は島の西側の崎枝半島に2羽いました。^^
今月、7羽目!!
A Eurasian Hoopoe foraging on the footpath.
It was in an unusually dark stretch of forest road. Only about 200 metres from the hoopoe above, so I thought it might be the same individual, but zooming in and checking the moult condition, it turned out to be a different bird. ^^;
ヤツガシラを探す合間に現れた小鳥たちを。
Japanese White-eye.
Zitting Cisticola.
Siberian Stonechat.
今年はヤツガシラの渡りが早くて多いですねー。寒波の影響?
きょうは、5羽観察の4羽撮影できました。1日で見つけた数では過去最高です。1羽撮影を逃したのは、カラスに追われて遠くに飛び見失ったので…。^^;
This was the individual furthest along in its moult.
This one has ruffled feathers around the face — mid-moult.
It was foraging with its crest raised. A slightly nervous individual.
While I was watching this bird, the nervous Eurasian Hoopoe from above came flying over. ^^
愛想のいいシマアカモズのオスでした。川平石崎半島。
The background was nice. ^^
