まだまだまだリュウキュウアカショウビン!!
なんと、昨日に引き続き今日もアカショウビンが見られました。^^
The bill colour is just enough to tell it's a first-year bird. When I found it, it was eating what appeared to be a stick insect.
It was startled by a Brown-eared Bulbul.
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.

非常になれた個体でした。顔つきも二枚目で脚、羽毛ともほとんど汚れていません。^^
A beautiful juvenile.
I also tried shooting at 200mm. I left my lens cap behind in the sugarcane field… ^^;
台風後にクロハラアジサシが一気に増えました。今日は、牧草地でバッタなどを狩っていました。
A White-winged Tern that caught a large grasshopper.
This one caught a grasshopper too. There are far more grasshoppers hiding in the pasture than I'd expected.
秋の渡りが始まっていますが、今日はアカショウビンが2羽見られました。^^
季節外れですが、小声でさえずってもいました!!
It caught a large Sakishima flat stag beetle.
台風で小休止していたアカハラダカの渡りが本格化してきました。今日は、合計で500羽ほど観察されましたが、南風が吹いていたのでアカハラダカが遠い…。^^;
明日は爆発する予報です!!

The largest kettle of the day — around 200 birds.
