Blue-and-white Flycatcher After a Long While

April 16, 2026

I had a work trip to Yonaguni Island, so I did some birdwatching in my free time. I got bird information from someone staying long-term on Yonaguni, but it seems I arrived right in the gap between waves — the birds typical of Yonaguni had already moved through. I did manage to see a Blue Rock Thrush that had been present for about three weeks. ^^

An adult male Blue Rock Thrush. It has been staying for quite a long time — about three weeks at this point.

ウェブログに掲載するの忘れていたやつ。2010年3月に石垣島の大浜の牧場に出たアオハライソヒヨドリ。その牧場の主は、私の今の上司でした…。^^;
