ヤツガシラ
またまた、別のヤツガシラ。今年は多いです。隔年の周期で多いのかな?
Stretching as if to show off its vivid plumage. ^^
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。^^
