Eyelids like yellow eaves!

Isn't there any other bird with this kind of eyelid?

Well, I haven't seen all the seeds up close. By the way, juvenile of this bird has red eyelids.

Then will this eyelid close from above? Ducks close it from the bottom, is it related to water?

This is the moment when the male on the left becomes superior to the male on the right.

The moment the male on the left ran up from the back and opened the wings and tail feathers,

the victor was decided.

I was shooting continuously, it seemed that the male on the right had disappeared.

The losing male went down on his knees.

This is probably because they don't fight and hurt each other.

"Boss! It's easy to have a big Japanese sea perch over there." "Okay, I'll get it."

Look at the following photo when the osprey at Fujimae-Higata was deceived and grabbed a mullet.

The above is a lie, don't be fooled....

There are raptors that stick from the beak or go from the legs.

It is eating now. It had a hard time swallowing it, and it appears on the face.

This black clump is a crab with its legs and scissors removed (a rice ball of club innards).

It's a fairly large size, so is it a Yamato Osagani (Macrophthalmus japonicus) ?

It is a large plover that overwinters on tidal flats.

It seems that there used to be a sumo wrestler (Sekitori) with such professional name (Shikona) ...

Such Sekitori bird is feeding with staggered legs.

Plover is written as thousand birds in Chinese character. In the old days there must have been a lot of ...

Stretch, flutter its wings and bend its beak! Does it yawn? ..

BTW, the beak can be bent like this! (Not an accident or illness.)

I juat want to touch it !

　What are you doing? 34th

Somehow a feeling of wrongness .... Hmm.. that is a leg shape..."Oh, it has reverse legs?"

Actually, it is the heel to bend in an L shape, it has a long sole (tarsus) !

Birds walk on tiptoe. Is it a muscle training?

　What are you doing? 33th

They gazed at wild ducks to tilt their head. I also gazed at their back.

I guess they are the male and female, or possibly brothers ?

They both tried to prey on ducks, but the hurdles were still high for young hawks.

　What are you doing? 32th

We can meet this bird with a high probability (we often see it at the bird watch field trip),

anyway it is too small to take a photo of their flight !

It is difficult to follow their speed at close range, however the resolution drops down at a distance.

So this is the miracle shot ! Isn't it ?

　What are you doing? 31th

As compared to 30th, it is easier to take a photo of their flight, but they fly wavy so I tend to produce a

large quantity of fish-like shots. This photo is the moment it perches on the trunk.
