The meeting of WBSJ was held on the only day it didn't rain during this rainy season. How lucky we were. It was humid and a little hot, but clouds came in at the end of the morning and we didn't suffer too much.
A young Peregrine Falcon, ハヤブサ awaited us. Was it born this year?
Overlooking the mudflats
Someone seemed to be watching from the other side. A parent?
Before 8am there was a Ruddy -breasted Crake, ヒクイナ
But no sign of kids
The Moorhens, バン were walking up and down the edge of the reeds, at the usual place.
A young bird briefly popped out, but was back into hiding before I could take a shot.
The 2nd encounter this year. (Red?) Fox, キツネ
I love that face!
A washed-out Intermediate Egret, チュウサギ
Osprey, ミサゴ Cooling off on the other side of the river
Several dragonflies were out. Below a Kofuki Tombo, コフキトンボ
Akasuji Shieldbug, アカスジカメムシ
Caterpillar of Impatiens Hawkmoth, セスジスズメの幼虫
Every year I have to ask the name of the flower. It's シロバナサクラタデ (Shirobana Sakuratade)
But the buf I know. Small Copper, ベニシジミ
Infestations on the way. Japanese beetle Mamekogane, マメコガネ
Funny looking Triops, カブトエビ swimming on their backs in the rice paddies
Male and female Common Bluetail, アオモンイトトンボ
