Asian Short-toed Lark, コヒバリ

猛禽を見に行きました

着いたらコヒバリは入ていることを聞きました

見たいですね！

自転車レースで出るわるかった、ちょっとだけみました。

それと後ろだけ、鳥の胸見えませんでした

不完全な気持ちです

On Saturday I went to Isahaya to see raptors. I didn’t know anything about an Asian Short-toed Lark, an uncommon visitor to Kyushu and heard about it upon arrival.

Oh, a lifer for me!

It would be difficult to find I thought, but other birders ensured me it came to the road to find food, so it would not be too hard. However, a cycling race was going on and that disturbed the bird constantly. I appeared just a few times for a few seconds.

This way I only got to see the little bird from behind and didn’t get to see its breast.

It makes me feel incomplete…

The face looks a bit like that of a skylark, but the bill is much broader, almost like a finch. The color of the body is rather pale and in flight seemed near white.
