ムラサキサギ
珍しく、田んぼや牧草地じゃないところに佇んでいました。
What's it after, I wonder.
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.

牧草地でクロハラアジサシが2羽餌探し。
I thought it was fluttering along lazily, then it made a sharp turn and snatched a grasshopper.
Winter plumage. There were individuals in summer plumage too, but they were resting in the paddies and didn't fly. ^^;
やっと出てきました。^^ 西表島の1ヶ月遅れ。
Juvenile birds are beautiful.
It was calling out with a begging cry, calling for its parents.
Another fine day from start to finish. ^^
いつも複数羽で渡ってくるけど、今回は単独でした。
It's such a striking wader that it stands out even in the rice paddies. ^^
昼から夜へ。
三脚は友達に貸しててないから手持ちで。^^
