Imazu in the 3rd week of October

Early mornings in the Imazu area, where I tried to combine walking exercises with bird watching. One of which was sure to fail πŸ˜€. Many hawks were flying in the 3rd week of October.


Sparrowhawk, ハむタカ chasing sparrows



October 22nd:  At the only waterlogged field in the area that's left was one lonesome Temminck's Stint, γ‚ͺγ‚Έγƒ­γƒˆγ‚¦γƒγƒ³





The Daurian Redstarts, ジョウビタキ in Imazu are a real joy.









October 23. The strong wind of the previous days brought many ducks. 

Common Pochards, ホシハジロウ



Tufted Ducks, キンクロハジロウ





Common Starling, ホシムクドγƒͺ





Red-rumped  Swallow, コシをカツバパ





A Japanese Lined Snake, γ‚·γƒžγƒ˜γƒ“ with its catch for the winter. 



After withdrawing in the reeds he turned around once more, as if to show me his prey




I saw the 1st Pale Thrush, シロハラ on the 27th, but not in Imazu. They should be coming soon
