ヨシガモとマガン25、ヒシクイ1+1

今季2羽目のヨシガモを確認。 昨年の11月7日に飛来した25羽のマガン は1羽も脱落することなく滞在中。ヒシクイ1羽も加わって26羽の大所帯になりました。警戒心もそれほどなく観察しやすいです。別の場所には単独のヒシクイも滞在中。こちらは警戒心強め。

Falcated Duck

A male Falcated Duck in mid-moult from juvenile to first-breeding plumage. Looking pretty ragged. ^^;

Greater White-fronted Goose

The Greater White-fronted Geese that have been present for two months now total 25 birds — adults and juveniles combined.

Tundra Bean Goose

A Tundra Bean Goose that joined the flock of Greater White-fronted Geese above. It was occasionally getting told off by the White-fronts.

A lone Tundra Bean Goose at a different location. I hid behind cover to photograph it, but it was already on alert.
