Some Spring Blues

We spent 3 nights camping up at Lake Shikotsuko.....................


Near the lake is small forest pool that we visit once or twice a year as it provides a good opportunity to photograph some of the shyer forest birds as they come down to bathe and drink............

Siberian Blue Robins are a) generally found in dark forests and are b) rather shy.................

There were lots of them singing in the forests around the lake.................

There were at least 2 different males coming to the pond...............as you can see by the different wing coloring (the one with brown on the wings must be a younger bird I guess).
