今津探鳥会 imazu tanchoo-kai June 2nd

The theme of the day seemed to be young birds. It started with a crows' nest holding 4 chicks. There was lot of fluttering of immature wings. The pens not well develloped yet.
Carrion Crow, ハシボソカラス



Mama Spot-billed Duck, カルガモ  was a bit nervous in that narrow ditch. She had to look after 7 little spotted tiny billed ducklings



White Wagtail, ハクセキレイ fledgelings; 1 resting on the curb with 2 sibblings among the pebbles - warmed by the sun and hard to detect - not such a bad place!





Very few migrators, but one Chinese Egret, カラシラサギ sat conspiciously on a pole



And in the far distance 2 pairs of red legs and 1 pair of yellow legs
Redshank, アカアシシギ Grey-tailed Tattler, キアシシギ



The Chinese Egret, カラシラサギ once more













A single Far Eastern Curlew, ホウロクシギ flew in when the tide retreated



A small group of ducks is still around, mostly Wigeons and 1 male Falcated Duck, ヨシガモ



After the meeting some of us went to see the Red-necked Phalarope アカエリヒレアシシギ at Muromi River. She seems to have an injury, but is doing quite well.


 Pretty lady!
