Garganey again, シマアジ 2

It is still cold, the wind from the north, west or north-west. Few birds are coming in. I have no elementary school classes and I'd hoped to spend some of my free time birding... Soon there will be lots to see. Soon I will be busy again...

Yesterday this pair of Garganeys nr Itoshima シマアジ

Egrets are getting in their summer dress. There is a lot of preening to do to keep it pure white!

Great Egret, ダイサギ

The Black-faced Spoonbills, クロツラヘラサギ also keep busy. Their head feathers growing longer by the day.

The "nozem" look

Bill fighting

Buntings in the reeds: Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ (yes again, I love that bird)
