秋のヤツガシラ
昨日は警戒心が強過ぎて写真に収められませんでしたが、今日はなんとか。^^;
A Eurasian Hoopoe resting in a Ficus microcarpa tree.
It was being chased by crows from time to time.
Once it settled down a little it came to the ground to look for food. It appears to have just arrived on migration.

沖縄本島やんばるにて(動画あり)
やんばるでリュウキュウオオコノハズクを見てきました。2羽のオオコノハズクが同じ場所を狩り場にして、リュウキュウカジカガエルを捕っていました。
ホントウアカヒゲは林道のあちこちにいました。
It had perched on a nice tree, but flew off before I could press the shutter. ^^;
A male Ryukyu Robin.
A female Ryukyu Robin. It still looked young.
Dragonflies were plentiful near the stream. Their metallic colouring was strikingly vivid and beautiful in the dim surroundings.

リュウキュウアカショウビンとカワセミ
アカショウビンもいよいよ少なくなってきました。石垣島では数少なく、警戒心が強いカワセミが田んぼにいました。
シマアカモズを1羽確認。ツメナガセキレイやシギチは少しずつですが増えています。
A Ruddy Kingfisher in tatters from moulting before its southward migration. ^^;
This spot must be a departure point for Ruddy Kingfishers heading south — I can observe them here every year around the end of the season.
It looks well over one size smaller than the Ruddy Kingfisher. Very wary, so it stays far away. ^^;

田んぼでカンムリワシなど
カンムリワシの幼鳥はまだ見えませが、田んぼでカンムリワシを見かけることが多くなりました。
Poor Sakishima frog.
This is the "Aggai" that was rescued on 17 February 2014 and released on 8 March 2014. Its white juvenile plumage had been replaced by immature feathers.
There was a Black-crowned Night Heron in the dredged waterway.
