First Sunday of February

First Sunday of the month is tanjokai in Imazu, where birders get together to watch, count and talk. While we screen the fields and mud-flats we exchange info and ideas and make plans for further outings. It's good for me, I learn something every time. And I made nice friends. This time many people came, I think over 40, despite the low temperatures. The sun was out and there was that spring feeling...

A Black-necked Grebe pushing water  ハジロカイツブリ



nose diving and



emerging right in front of me - surprise!



Wow, such red eyes!


In the forest on the other side of the city:


Hawfinches again.  シメ






 a Red-flanked Bluetail boy    and girl      ルリビタキ



And (Grey-bellied) Bullfinches at last  ウソ




Doesn't the male on the right have a pinkish belly?
