It's windy and cold. Very cold. I'm sitting on the beach, watching the wild waves. Nobody is here. No people, no dogs, not even crows. Just a wagtail. It:s good to be out here again after 4 days inside.
White Wagtail, ハクセキレイ
Ahh, sunshine! But still cold.
Can I stay here forever, please?
There are ducks behind the surf. Near and far. Greater Scaup, スズガモ; a few hundred I think.
And ホシハジロ, Common Pochard; also a few hundred, mostly asleep
Who is that there in the back?
Difficult, where are you?
Yeah! Pelagic Cormorant, ヒメウ small and pretty like a princess.
In the far corner are some other ducks, braving the cold waves.
Northern Pintails, オナガガモ
Very brave indeed!
I don't see any Grebes. No Mergansers either. At least not nearby.
Ah, there is one - in the harbor. Great Crested Grebe, カンムリカイツブリ Very few of these this year
Will I ever see your summer dress again?
