Fox Cubs #2



We went to Onuma to check the fox cubs and they were much more co-operative today.............



There seemed to be 3 of them..............they spent their time play fighting........



One was much bigger than the others and had first go at a huge fish the mother dumped in the undergrowth for them, too dark for a pic of that..........

They did frolic around in the open at least......




The usual birds were around, no photos though..........I also got my first mosquito bites of the season. Only 6 or so weeks ago everything was buried under snow and now the mozzies are back.

Nothing at all on the ricefields.................I was really hoping to get some freshwater waders in summer plumage this spring, I may only get one more chance later this week. There were half a dozen very skittish Whimbrel on the beach at Kamiiso, this was the only shot I could get.



Still a few ducks around: Wigeon, Gadwall and Scaup. This male Stonechat was in someone's garden near the beach.




Thanks for clicking this link.......

  9. Even a miserable bugger like me smiled at the cheeky cubs - and they are not even birds!
    Nice to see a male Eastern Stonechat - really pale with orange restricted to the breast.
    I just ticked one from over 20 years ago now that the BOU have accepted the split (sad but true).
