The WBSJ in Saga has set up a project to protect breeding Terns. Many Little Terns nest on a gravel area between farmlands and canals, exposed to all the elements, including flocks of ravaging crows. I stopped by for just under an hour and saw 30+ birds at least. Bricks, concrete pipes and smart-looking decoys were spread over a fenced off area. We could safely watch them from outside. Well done, Saga WBSJ!
Some were 'dating'...
... Others were raising kids
When this bird stood up we could see 3 eggs
Another one is keeping them warm and hidden
Different species: Little Ringed Plover baby, コチドリ
Parents got upset with intruders
In the farthest corner: 3 chicks
Will you be my darling?
With my new friends
First things first
