December's WBSJ meeting in Imazu

 It's been such a busy week; this post comes way too late. But better late than never, right?


When I arrived first thing in the morning, there were 5 Smews, ミコアイサ at the 2 ponds; 3 males and 2 females







1 female stayed by itself



I stopped by the Night Heron point and counted 7 birds: 2 adults and 5 juveniles.
It is never a pretty picture; they have to live among all that rubbish in the creek. かわいそ
Black-crowned Night Heron, ゴイサギ





At the mudflats about 8 or 10 Saunders's Gulls, ズグロカモメ were active.





Below a juvenile and an adult bird



When the Falcon flew over all the Lapwings took to their wings
Northern Lapwing, タゲリ





A large flock of Rooks, ミヤマガラス was foraging in one of the fields, something that had not occurred for many years apparently.









After the meeting I drove to the other side of the river, where I found 1 Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ



Among the White-cheeked Starlings ムクドリ on the wires some Common Starlings, ホシムクドリlooking very dull on this grey day



Only the White-cheeked came down for a drink



At this side of the river were the Dunlins, ハマシギ that didn't show during the meeting around some Mallards, マガモ



In this grey world I found just a little bit of color among the Eurasian Tree Sparrows, スズメ
I'm waiting for the day the Russets visit Fukuoka
