During the last week of February, I walked around the mountainous areas south of the city. There was very little to see, and whatever flew by disappeared immediately. A few birds caught my attention, but taking photos was quite a challenge.
Grey Wagtail, キセキレイ
Brown Dipper, カワガラス
Rustic Bunting, カシラダカ
Japanese Green Woodpecker, アオゲラ
Long-tailed Tits, エナガ
Ryukyu Minivet, リュウキュウサンショウクイ
There was a loud noise in the bush. Tracing it I stumbled on a small pool. All of a sudden, the place was silent. Here and there pairs of eyes floated on the surface.
Japanese Brown Frog, ニホンアカガエル
Once I withdrew the noise started again. I carefully slid back, hiding behind a tree. Many frogs, maybe 100 or more jumped up, yelling like a bunch of hungry kittens! There seemed to be more frogs than water. A large blob of spawn floated on the edge of the pond.
