Author recorded the circling and descending flights of the black kites at the Katsuragi Kannon Observatory. There were times when I made mistakes in operating the equipment and failed to track them. 4 October 2021.
I’ve never seen this bird before. I encountered it when the bird was trying to catch a fish. The bird shot three fishes in about 20 minutes. September 24, 2021, at Oppe River, Kubo weir, Moroyama, Saitama, Japan
Egg-laying ⇒ appearance of a crack in the shell ⇒ hatching This video is a series of scenes that an egg laid on August 6, 2021 hatched on August 28. The egg cracked and finally the parent bird removed the egg membrane and the egg cracked and the chick hatched. The little grebes begin to warm their eggs immediately after laying them. They lay one egg a day for several days. Then they hatch one per day.

The spot-billed ducks were scraping algae on the concrete and filtering only the algae in their mouths. As they did so, water was pouring out of both sides of its bill. Birds of the duck family have a clever mechanism. You can see the mechanism in the swan. Visit the next site. ⇒ http://wakatsuk.blog68.fc2.com/blog-entry-94.html
I began to hear the sound of water slapping violently. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cormorant bathing. It was bathing again and again. The flapping of its wings was very powerful. As it finished bathing, a little grebe ran across the water.
The reeds of the riverbanks were removed, and the stone beets bedded out. I was noting that the plover would lay eggs. Finally, I was able to find the chicks of the long-billed plover. Recently, I have available digital zoom, it has power. The riverbank of the Oppe River in Moroyama Town. Video taken June 16 and 18, 2021.
The young white wagtail was hungry and perched on a stone. Mommy brought food to it. I started shooting using the digital zoom function of SONY RX10M4. It has its power. Three in a row. May 29, 2021, Ope River, Moroyama Town.
In general, bird chicks stay in the nest and are fed by their parents. Chicken chicks and ducklings, on the other hand, forage for their own food shortly after they hatch. These parent birds do not feed their chicks. In the case of the spot-billed duck, there are 12 chicks at a time, and it would be impossible for the mother to feed them.
The author encountered the following scene on a day of heavy rain. Due to heavy rain, the Ooyagi River was risen. The spot-billed chicks were hungry because they had less food to feed. There was a mulberry tree by their side, and their mom was full, eating mulberries, but the chicks were able to pick up a mulberry but could not eat it. A chick did not eat after picking the fruit with the beak and poking it smaller. Mom repeatedly came near the mulberry tree. Probably because a lot of mulberry fell. We are confirmed that there is an exception, although the spot-billed chicks are said to eat the same foods as their parents. Taken on June 6, 2019.
