He must be on his way to migration, and his meter read very close to "E'', so he must be refueling.

Even though it's called a fly catcher, it doesn't mean it's always catching flies.

In this photo, did he catch a Coleoptera larva? It looks delicious.

It is currently procuring nesting materials.

To be more precise, it is trying to obtain materials to strengthen the nest.

Obtaining spider silk must be quite hard work for small birds.

I feel like something doesn't look right.

Is it because the body is long and the tail feathers look short?

Or does it just look that way because of this angle and timing?

All the little birds were like this??

What you can see between this bird's large and sturdy beak is a filter that filters out microorganisms

and plankton from the water.

lined up tightly... Yes! , It looks like in humpback whales, etc!

So what? Maybe a beard...? ? 　-> 　The name of the filter is "lamellae"

The two birds were moving together along the bank of a rice field where white clover blooms.

It was a scene that reminded me of deer.

Was it a pair?

　What are you doing? 85th

The wind gently wraps her short flaxen hair～♪

Really! The base of the feathers is white!

By the way, the base of the jet black feathers of the carrion crow is also white.

Well then, is this bird a maiden?

　What are you doing? 84th

Urging like arrows from both sides!

I could see the wearied face on their parent. After this, the parent escaped to the lower power lines.

However, there was no way that it would be freed from the children, and they were immediately chasing the parent.

It is the breeding color.

They wear heavy make-up and all the accessories they have, further more smug face!

It looks like we would want to add "crested" to the beginning of the species name.

　What are you doing? 82th

I don't think this type of friction usually happens, but I wonder if it's due to the stress of raising children?

Maybe there's a nest nearby.

　What are you doing? 81th

It looks a big buddy with a toothpick who has a lunch at the cafeteria in the downtown area

and came out.

Certainly, there is a bird that scrape out insects with a twig in one kind of Darwin Finch.

　Who is taking these wonderful photos?

Minoru Tadachi　　Don't worry be happy

He lives in the heart of Azumino field, works here, looks at birds, flowers and a cloud everyday.
There are springs from Mt.Jonen and Chogatake, lush greenery, wasabi fields and blue sky.
In such daily life, Tadachi-san talks to living things around him everyday.
"Good morning everyone! What are you doing?"
Wild birds and insects reply to him.
"Good morning Tadachi-san! What are you doing?"
In such way, the day begins and ends.
These are wonderful photos from such a country life.
