Sunrise at the t-pond

It's early, it's cold. I'm thinking of my warm bed. The Spoonbills at the pond are preening. I'm watching the smaller bird on the right. The Pied Avocet, ソリハシセイタカシギ




As the golden sun rises above the horizon the light becomes stronger. My target birds is waking up.



On the move





Off to...



...a dark corner in the pond. I can just see him behind the Cormorants



On the way back...





...to where the Shovelers are



Momentarily acting Shovel-like



Northern Shovelers, ハシビロガモ doing their thing



Bringing the plankton up by moving around in a circle



Or in a line



Lucky encounter!
