Smew, ミコアイサ
While walking around I happened upon this Common Pochard, ホシハジロ, who laid helplessly on its back on the boardwalk. After helping him back on his feet he fled to join his mates in the pond. I keep on wondering what would have happened to him if I'd left him there...
Then I walked on to see ducks at sea: Harlequin
Duck, シノリガモ
At an enormous distance I could barely make out their shapes at first, but waiting paid off... just a little.
Would be wonderful to see them up close one day.
Other birds far out at sea:
Black-necked Grebe, ハジロカイツブリgathering and getting ready to move north
And around the area: Common Reed Bunting, オオジュリン
As well as a Black-faced Spoonbill, クロツラヘラサギ
in company of an Eurasian Spoonbill, ヘラサギ
