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.
成鳥、幼鳥ともみごとなハンティングを見せてくれました!!
It landed quite far to the left and barely made it into the frame. ^^;
Mid-sequence I lost it in the viewfinder….
An impressive scene even for a juvenile. The prey was a grasshopper or something — swallowed in one gulp.
Diving straight down.
The prey was a Barred Buttonquail or something of that sort.
カンムリワシがいなかった…。
Northern Lapwing.
Female Pale-capped Pigeon.
今日は天気わるー。
Two Ospreys foraging.
In the evening, crabs seem to come out when light rain falls.
This one had also caught a crab.
撮る気はなかったけど、一応カメラを積んでドライブしてよかったぜ!!
The sixth individual Crested Serpent Eagle juvenile this season. It was quite wary, so closing the distance this much was a slow, patient process.
Diving at prey!!
Thanks to the 1D X I got a burst of about 30 shots!!
The Crested Serpent Eagle returning to its lookout post after finishing off its prey.
Feels great when you can shoot without cropping.
幼鳥2羽と成鳥4羽がいましたが、撮れたのは2羽と1羽だけ…。
A juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle cowering as it is threatened by an adult.
I thought it was flying toward me, but it banked away halfway. ^^;
Diving steeply into a stream.
It clouded over before 6 a.m., so the light is really dark. ^^;
