あちらこちらでシマアカモズの高鳴きが聞かれるようになりました。
While most Brown Shrikes are very wary, this male let me shoot up close. ^^

サシバの渡りピーク
13、14日と2000羽越えの渡りが観察できました!! 20日前後までは条件が良ければ見られるでしょう。
A juvenile crossed almost directly overhead. I noticed too late and only got a rear view… ^^;
Shooting at 600mm, so this is just a small part of the kettle.
The second kettle of the day. ^^

オオヒシクイほか田んぼの鳥(動画あり)
7羽のオオヒシクイが渡ってきています。^^
It was very wary and wouldn't let me get close, so cropped. ^^;
As long as I kept more than a paddy field's width away, it didn't get alarmed.
Winter plumage Javan Pond Heron.
A Black-winged Stilt that looks like it has bloodshot eyes. ^^ The most beautiful wader that comes through Ishigaki.

サシバの渡り(動画あり)
昨日からサシバの渡りが始まりました。本日は2000羽以上が渡りました。^^
It has migrated through again this year. ^^
I missed the largest flock, but was able to observe a passage of over 2,000 birds.
None of them flew close enough, so everything is heavily cropped… ^^;
An Osprey carrying a trevally also showed up. ^^ Something like a Goldenbanded Trevally, maybe?

カンムリワシのカニ狩り
水の中の大きなカニにアタック!! 水につかって食うのは嫌なようで、茂みの中に運んでからゆっくりと食っていました。^^
While I was photographing this Crested Serpent Eagle, I got a message from my mentor: "What are you doing? 1,700 Grey-faced Buzzards in 30 minutes." I headed straight out to watch the migration. ^^ It has a firm grip on a crab.
