この小さな畑を縄張りにするのは、シマアカモズのオス。シロハラやツグミがくると激しく追い返していました。
Pale Thrushes and Dusky Thrushes are starting to move north to their breeding grounds, but I wonder how long the Brown Shrikes will stay. You do see Brown Shrikes in beautiful summer plumage on Ishigaki during the breeding season, but only in small numbers. I wonder if any are actually breeding here?
