見島 その4 / Mishima Part 4

Continuation of Mishima Part 3

On the morning of a typhoon-like gale, a falcon was eating something as it flew by.

This is another individual with narrow wing stripes.

It was really a moment, so it’s a terrible photo, but could it be an eurasian sparrowhawk?

Even the crow has a different atmosphere when it is in the forest.

Grey-spotted flycatcher.

Dark-sided flycatcher with its dark lore.

Asian brown flycatcher with its white lore.

This is another tristram’s bunting that I learned about from Google Lens. It looks like a female.
It seems to be very rare.

There was a pacific golden plover. There were many birds that I had never seen before, so I learned a lot this time.

I thought it was a black-crowned night heron, but it turned out to be a striated heron because of its yellow eyes. The feathers on the upper surface have a clear outline.

I also saw a few cattle egrets.

I crawled on the ground to take a picture of an olive-backed pipit, and the spotlight shone on it nicely.

Osprey carrying today’s dinner.

It seemed satisfied.

That’s it for the photos of Mishima.

Perhaps it was because I started after the rain, but I was able to see more birds this time than ever before. If the conditions were better, I might have seen more, but for now, I think it was worth the trip.
