Remember March 1

The migrating birds arrived so sudden this year, I didn't get a chance to update my sightings from March. So here we are, a little late, like mustard after the meal.

Feathers on the coast of Itoshima: Eurasian Wigeon, ヒドリガモ

And Pacific Reef Egret, クロサギ

A pretty Gadwall , オカヨシガモ

In Imazu: Water Pipit, タヒバリ 

Still hanging out there in March: Common Starling, ホシムクドリ

And offcourse the Spoonbills, giving a bit of a show

High up in a tree a Japanese Grosbeak, イカル was singing. Or was it laughing?
