Birds in nature, landscape and others.
When I saw the nest of a little grebe on April 23rd, there were three eggs on the nest.
On April 25th, three turtles were on the little grebe’s nest. I don’t know the details, but the nest has been taken over by turtles. It looks like the eggs were eaten. What I was worried about happened.
Last year, the chicks hatched about a month earlier than this year.
The little grebes abandoned the nest, but it was carring the nest materials to a new location.
Carrion crows were gathering nesting materials in pair.
It holds a lot of nesting material in its mouth.

The chestnut-cheeked starling is a summer bird, and breeds in the northern Japan and the Russian islands of Sakhalin and Kurlies.
I was walking along the bank of the Moro River, I thought they were the white-cheeked starling or grey starling when they passed overhead. They stopped on a power line so I was able to take a video. I have not seen this bird before. They were a flock of about 23 birds. Near the Kubo Seir, they flew off in a flock to the east.
On April 16th
I found a little grebe nest. Here, the little grebes build the nest by piling up dead leaves, small twigs, algae (waterthyme), etc. on the stems of running reeds that have fallen into the river. It is called floating nest because it floats on the water. Objects that can be used as support include tree branches hanging down to the river, and running reeds growing in the water. This year, nest building is about a month later than last year.
There is a nest at the end of the arrow in the next image.
In the next image, there is a little grebe near the nest. It does not lay an egg. I’m concerned about the presence of a turtle. I once saw a turtle eating eggs of a little grebe.
