Monthly Sunday meeting of WBSJ in Imazu

It's nice to have so many eyes doing the job. We can chat and exchange infomation.
Migrating season has started, Stonechats seem to be everywhere. Some winter visitors that haven't left yet are now in summer dress. It's the best time of the year.


Garganey,  シマアジ 





Naumann's Thrush,  ハチジョウツグミ






This is why renkon fields are so important for birds: They can scan the mud for food without exposing themselves. I hope farmers in Imazu will always be growing lotus root.



 The last 2 Saunders's Gulls, ズグロカモメ  sporting black heads



Siberian Stonechat, ノビタキ. They are so cute, I can't stop watching them. First the male: 






Next the female:





The last 2 just wanted to have their picture taken: Oriental Greenfinch,  カワラヒワ



And Little Ringed Plover, コチドリ
