Ural owl

Forty-four-second movie for a juvenile Ural owl perched tree.

This juvenile Ural owl is keeping itself through the strong wind.

 

Yellow bittern

 I due to the news received from somebody that the Cinnamon bittern, that habitats in the Nansei Islands in the southern part of the Amami Islands, came flying into a swamp in the prefecture, so I went there three days in a row to take pictures of the bird.

However, the Cinnamon bittern didn't show up for 3 days.

Then I decided to take photos of the yellow bitters which were there, that are breeding in the northern Indian Subcontinent, east of the Russian Far East, Japan, and Indonesia.

A great white pelican standing at the bow of a boat is called "Kanta Kun" 

To take Cinnamon bittern picture, fifty amateur bird photographers came here 

Little Tern

 Little Tern, listed as a least concern by the IUCN Red List category, has arrived here from southern countries also this year. The number of arrived seems to be smaller than last year,　and they began to start a nest.
