December started quite warm. Looking at the early daffodils it felt like spring. But now the cold period is on its way. Halfway the month the Shelducks, ツクシガモ arrived. They are a nice decoration to the grey mud flats.
The Common Starlings, ホシムクドリcame too. First 2, then 3, 4, 5
Not bothered by me at all, this Common Snipe, タシギ
The female Hen Harrier, ハイイロチュウヒ seems to have a big territory. Or are there more then 1?
