Common Merganser, カワアイサ and some more

A whole weekend without jobs and duties for both of us? Where did that suddenly come from? I felt like celebrating. So we did. With a luxurious relaxing bath at a scenic hot spring, a stroll along the sightly river and a visit to exotic curry place. The weather was reasonable, though we started off with rain. Good for some mysterious scenery




Locals cleaning the beautiful river, burning debris at intervals. They understand the value of their environment.









Halfway down the river, a male Common Merganser, カワアイサ


Among the wintering ducks were a number of Gadwalls, オカヨシガモ


The Merganser again





A Sparrowhawk, ハイタカ came to take a rest on the opposite river bank



What is it... she?.. doing?





A female Merganser, all by herself.


but not for long


Together now
