Eastern Spot-billed Duck / Northern Shoveler

Apart from the Eastern Spot-billed Ducks, the others had all moved north and gone, but one Northern Shoveler (left) — a juvenile male — had stayed behind in the paddies. The Eastern Spot-billed Ducks, the only species that breeds on Ishigaki Island, have been appearing with their chicks in the paddies and irrigation channels for about two weeks now.
