Imazu in spring

Took some time off from the daily chores on a grey cloudy day to see what was happening in the fields. A Chinese Penduline Tit, ツリスガラ called out from the reeds. Looks like a female.









Among various small waders a large flock of over 50 migrating Whimbrels, チュウシャクシギ had arrived in the river.


waiting for the tide to withdraw. They must be hungry!





Another temporary visitor: Bar-tailed Godwit, オオゾリハシシギ 
  



A resident: Little grebe, カイツブリ in summer plumage. Where will you build your nest?


It is such a grey day. Need something to lift the mood:








Going overboard with the poppies... again.






Whatever the weather, there is always some color around
