Brown Hawk Owl, アオバズク

6Birds in the tree, 2 parents and their 4 chicks. The babies had just left the nest and were too excited to sleep. Ever so entertaining!

small stuff

Had a lot of fun with this


Juveniles - ugly and cute 1

The squeaking of  Mallard ducklings, マガモ woke me up one morning.
Resident ducks of the river Mom decided to take them out and explore the harbour that day. 









 Mom quacking instructions from the pontoon




Juveniles - ugly and cute 2

These Thrushes had a successful summer this year. The chicks are mostly taking care of themselves.
They look so scruffy, worth a shot

Barn Swallows, ツバメ

July, birds have been nesting at the usual site for about 3 months now. The nests always seemed to be occupied and there was a constant stream of parents flying in and out. The first newborns had barely left when others hatched again.  





This mom or dad seemst to be feeding life insects. They literally crawl out the chicks beak.



Are these flies meant to be eaten, or did they fly by to get their share?
気持ちが悪い, Disconcerting





Flying class... somebody will have to wash the deck soon :-)
