西表島探鳥でノドアカツグミなど
Nov. 17, 2015
Around midday on the first day, while checking the pastures at Minamihazama, I spotted a bird that looked like a Pale Thrush or maybe a Dusky Thrush. When I put the binoculars on it — a Black-throated Thrush? As I was trying to get a better look, a light truck came by and flushed it. Thrushes tend to return to the same feeding spot even after being flushed, so I waited about 20 minutes and it appeared again. Looking again through the binoculars, it was a male Red-throated Thrush in first-winter plumage. Just as I was about to shoot, a Common Kestrel flushed it again — but sure enough, while I was eating my lunch in the car it came back. ^^
