’25.3.16 赤穂御崎にて

@sou0902 さん・ @masachi さん・ @neko-no-oto さんと行く赤穂びしょ濡れ旅、続編です。

新舞子海岸を後にして、漁港へ寄ったのですが相変わらずの雨降りなので降ってる間に移動しましょうと赤穂御崎へ。ここでは一時的に雨が止んだりしたので、屋根のある場所を出たり入ったりで撮影。潮が満ちて畳岩へは上陸できませんでしたが���イソヒヨドリさんやウミネコさん（リアル猫さんの方😉）とも出会う事ができました。

･･まだまだ続きますｗ

Bird Info & Submission Reasons

Blue Rock-Thrush (Monticola solitarius)

"The national bird of Malta, two of them have been living in the construction site next to my backyard for the past few years and hearing them sing brightens my day :)"

Eurasian Bittern (Botaurus stellaris)

"I've seen this bird for the first time two years ago and it has not let me go. It looks so goofy. Like someone who has never seen a bird drew one that kinda looks like a bird. The legs. The neck. What isn't to love here."

Michael Sanchez was setting up his new camera to capture a waterfall at Oregon’s Hug Point at sunrise when he spotted a little bird hopping around. He snapped a few photos, and didn’t think much more of it. 

 A week later, those snapshots have made him the star – and the envy – of the local birding community. Sanchez, who is from Vancouver, Washington, may have inadvertently captured the first images of an extremely rare blue rock-thrush in North America. How birdwatching’s biggest record threw its online community into chaos Read more 

The species, which is native to east Asia, has only once before been spotted in this region, in 1997. But that sighting was rejected by the American Birding Association. If Sanchez’s images are verified by local and national birding groups, he could be credited as the first person to successfully record a blue rock-thrush in the region.
