Spring birdwatching



Garganey(シマアジ)



Nuthatch (ゴジュウカラ)
A nuthatch poked its head out of a nest box. I was quite surprised because it was using a nest box put up as low as about 1.5 meter in height. And then I realised that it maybe all right in the UK because there is none or very few dangerous snakes to invade their nest.



The sky was pure blue without a single cloud and it was reflected on the still surface of the mere.



A quick sketch of a bittern!(サンカノゴイ)



I am still not sure if it was a 1st winter female Stonechat or a female whinchat. But since it had a white throat rather than orange one, I am thinking it might be a Stonechat.

  2. ヒヨ吉さん、
    一瞬しか見られなかったときの勢いというのが案外にありますよね。
