Muromi River: 100 Crested Grebes and 1 Falcated Duck

Between all those pretty Wigeons and Pintails is just one duck that matches them in style:

Falcated Duck, ヨシガモ 

Spring is around the corner. Looking forward to see those feathers falcating!

in company of Wigeons...

... and a Pintail. 

 Watch this beaty contest

At the river mouth: Great Crested Grebes, カンムリカイツブリ

I counted over a hundred of which at least 90 were asleep :-)
