Winter migrants

I had a walk in a woodland and was greeted by several winter birds, black-faced buntings, hawfinches and a dusky thrush!



今シーズン初シメ。お祭り稼業に明け暮れている間に、季節はまた一段と進んでいた。



This was my first hawfinch of the season.



This already-very-tame black-faced bunting was feeding on a path literary in front of me.  They normally start doing it more often in the end of winter but it's still November and they have just arrived in the area!  I wish I had completed the drawing but someone had to go pass and it decided to fly away.

スッポンタケ。胞子は粘着質でドロドロして、なかなか臭い! この匂いで虫を呼び寄せ、胞子を散布してもらうとは、なんとも不思議なキノコだ。

    ボンの大学には「バーダー」の最新号があって、今日Tingちゃんの連載の話をしてくれた。
    「うちにも〇〇作ればいいのに←餌台かなんかのこと(忘れちゃった)」だってさ。
