The adult female Garganey had been doing nothing but sleeping, but she finally woke up. ^^

When I was searching for it, it was resting like this among Common Teals.

When I found the Garganey in January, it was while I was sorting through photos back home. It had sneaked into the lower left of one shot. Compared to that time, its plumage looks quite different — perhaps the crown feathers are coming in.

Last week there were about four Red-throated Pipits, but today there were only two.
