クロウタドリ
地面にいることが多いクロウタドリですが、枝に止まってくれました。
A charming Common Blackbird.
The characteristic posture of a thrush. The deep bluish-black is beautiful.
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.

昨年、野球場にネットがかかり、環境が大きく変化しましたが、その柱をおおいに利用しています。 昨年は幼鳥羽 でしたが、今年は見事な成鳥羽になって島に戻ってきてくれました。今年で2才ですね。
こうして毎年戻ってきてくれると嬉しいですね。^^

ヤツガシラの季節がやってきました。3羽見たのですが、写真におさめられたのは2羽だけ。
公園でトラツグミも見たんだけど、数秒現れた後、薮に入って出てこなくなりました…。^^;
I was driving along when I spotted a Eurasian Hoopoe being relentlessly chased by a crow, so I followed them. ^^
A Eurasian Hoopoe was perched in a banyan tree in the park. Afterwards it was startled by a person and flew off somewhere.
