野鳥撮り趣味の動画

This was my first shoot with the Nikon COOLPIX P950, and I think I was able to capture a variety of birds, including kingfishers, starlings, and young starlings, despite the intense heat, dry summer weather, and scarcity of birds in this season.
これで秋になれば、野鳥撮りが再開できるし、P1000の分解・修理もできる
When my beloved Nikon P1000 broke, I bought the lightweight P950, which is surprisingly light! Now, come autumn, I can resume bird photography. I can also disassemble and repair the P1000.
I had five old self-built computers that did not meet the Windows 11 requirements, and I had been struggling to deal with them, but I managed to complete all the necessary measures in a hurry during the Obon holiday in August, just before the end of Windows 10 support.
I bought the cheapest model as a replacement for my old sandals, but it doesn't have a request switch for keyless entry, which my wife, who buys a week's worth of groceries in one go, didn't like. Ugh!
Starting this week, F16 and F2 have joined the "Resolute Force Pacific" and the F35, Osprey and U2 have been doing "touch and go" missions. Despite the scorching heat of over 34 degrees Celsius, the base end was full of people, including those sleeping in their cars. I was careful not to get heatstroke, but my camera got heatstroke (tears)
I bought a new car for the first time in 13 years. I had been waiting for a new model of my favorite "Mazda Verisa" for 13 years. The progress of advanced safety technology during that time has been remarkable, and it is a car that is truly from another world, friendly to the elderly and women. Awesome!
Wild birds have been coming to eat the gummies in my garden, so I set up a trail camera for 10 days. The photo showed a brown-eared bulbul eating a jellyfish, but unfortunately, perhaps due to poor setup, the moment it plucked the fruit was not captured on camera.
ようやく見つけたのは、四十雀、ホオオジロ、キビタキ、ヒヨドリだけ。
I hadn't been to the mountain behind my house in a while, and it looked completely different, with neither the tents nor the benches at the campsite. I remembered that my bird-watching friends had told me that even though it was the peak season for winter birds, there were no birds around because of construction work. In the end, all I could find were chickadees, Meadow bunting, Narcissus flycatchers, and Bulbuls.
The clear song of a bush warbler echoes through the maple forest that covers the sky, but I can't see it. Even when I finally managed to catch it, it would quickly move away, making my neck hurt.
It was late spring, when the mountain azaleas were still in full bloom, and there were no wild birds around, so I struggled with tracking and focusing on the beetles. It was like special camera training (lol)
I took photos of spring flowers in April, such as muscari, dandelions, peas, and azaleas, but I forgot to edit them, so I'm a little late in editing them this year... (laughs)
The roads in the area have been closed since the day before Iwakuni Friendship Day, so I took the photo from the opposite bank. It is difficult to produce powerful close-up images, but it is possible to capture a panoramic view of the aircraft's trajectory.

After signing a contract for a new car, I was given tickets to watch the Carp at Mazda Stadium. I've been in Hiroshima for 50 years, and although I'm a Carp fan, I've never been to the stadium, but I decided to go because I was seated in the Royal Box.
This is a zoomed-in video of cherry blossoms in full bloom, long past their season. I'm a little late, but I'm uploading this video to see this year's flowers before they bloom again. See you next spring!
The young male kingfisher was having a hard time catching fish, so the female decided to catch the fish herself. I can understand the female's feelings of being impatient for courtship feeding...
As the male kingfisher approaches, the female kingfisher follows the male's movements with her eyes, hoping for courtship and feeding. Her innocent behavior like that of a toddler is cute.
A strong, storm-like wind is blowing through the path of cherry blossoms in full bloom where the kingfisher lives, sending cherry blossom snowstorms flying everywhere. The kingfisher has come to its usual branch, but is troubled by the water surface being covered in petals.
The cherry blossoms in full bloom, which will likely fall off in the rain today, were a place of rest for wild birds until just the other day. A Sparrows are engrossed in sucking the nectar from the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

As I walk through a tunnel of cherry blossoms in full bloom, my cheeks turning pink, the time and distance seem longer than usual, probably because I am walking slower as I admire the flowers.
Finally, I was able to film the entire process of courtship feeding of kingfishers. The second time was a demonstration without food, but I can only hope that this will lead to spawning.

The mountain cherry blossoms that bloom quietly in the valleys of secluded mountain paths have a refined, fair color and a more gentle presence than the Kawazu cherry blossoms or Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, and their silence and soothe the soul.
The sight of chickadees happily jumping from branch to branch of cherry blossom trees in full bloom is a typical spring sight that makes viewers feel cheerful, but they are already starting to scatter.
Even though it's already April and the days are as hot as summer days, I was surprised to see winter birds such as the Blue-breasted Flycatcher and Blue-throated Blue-throat as I walked along the mountain trails in the nearby Satoyama area.
The video was taken in early spring, so in the bleak landscape where there were still no green buds to be seen, the male kingfisher looked extremely skinny, and I found myself wishing that spring would come soon.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, painting the promenade pink. The green undergrowth that has sprouted in the early summer weather, the gray color of the promenade, and the bright water surface create a picturesque scene.
In early spring, a greenfinch eagerly eats the fruits of a crape myrtle tree. The unique golden yellow color shines in the clear blue sky and the bright light of the morning sun. Now that it's sunny in early summer, I can't see them anymore...
As I was looking forward to the feeding courtship scene of the kingfisher, a male flew onto a branch near the female, and I thought, ``It's finally time!'' However, I was disappointed that the male was unable to catch the fish as a gift.
On days when the water level is low, cormorants come up from downstream and hunt for fish that gather in the slightly deeper sluice gates.Then the cormorants take off again, heading downstream.
When the cherry blossoms suddenly bloom, winter birds such as thrushes and daurian redstarts disappear, and new birds such as long-tailed tits and black woodpeckers appear, giving a sense of the seasonal change.
Last week the rows of cherry blossoms were still in bud, but they suddenly blossomed into a new world of just 50% blooming. Perhaps the kingfisher was confused by this new world, as it took a while for it to show itself, but I managed to get a photo of it with the cherry blossoms.
This year's kingfishers were shy and didn't show up, and even when I occasionally saw them dive, I was worried about the number of failures, but they spit out pellets, so I'm relieved that they seem to have enough food.
This is a scene taken in spring, when the white-bellied grass, which had already disappeared as the climate skipped over spring and entered early summer, was intently eating something in the grassy area of the orchard.
The weather has now skipped spring and entered early summer, so this is a photo I took in the spring of a pair of Eurasian siskins, both of which have already disappeared, munching greedily on the berries of a crepe myrtle.
Spring has been skipped and the weather has turned to early summer, and the wild birds that were once familiar to me seem a bit restless, so I guess it's time to see them for the last time. See you in autumn!
After waiting for 20 minutes hiding in a large cherry tree beside the promenade, a male kingfisher arrived on the usual branch. This morning, there were no people in sight, so they seemed to be concentrating on catching fish with peace of mind.
The weather has skipped over spring and the weather has become hot and sunny, and various animals have started new activities. Small animals are on the move, and black kites are also flying low to the ground.
On a day when the tide is out and the water surface is far away, the kingfisher is probably hungry and, without paying any attention to the camera, dives in again and again to try to catch fish, but fails 10 times in a row.
On a mountain path in a rural area, a group of four Black-faced buntings were engrossed in eating food, but they must have sensed human presence as they stopped moving and observed their surroundings. Sorry!
While I was photographing a kingfisher, a wren appeared. It's starting to feel like spring on the plains, but if it's still there, I'm looking forward to hearing its beautiful song. In the first half, the camera shake prevention was turned off, so the camera shake was disappointing.
In these days of three cold spells and four warm spells, wild birds such as robins, thrushes, snipes, coots, and kingfishers seem to have become active, eagerly awaiting spring. And people too...
On a clear, sunny morning, a kingfisher was grooming itself and stretching on its back. Although it is covered by branches from the camera, it is probably a safe environment for kingfishers.
As I followed the pale thrush with my camera, I saw a black-faced bunting, so I continued taking pictures, and ended up with a shot of the pale thrush and the black-faced bunting together. Eventually, Pale thrush noticed the camera and became "gold tied".
A pair of greenfinch came to the crepe myrtle tree and ate the berries. I never get tired of watching them, sometimes turning upside down or doing a circus with their tops.
It's been a long time since I last had an oyster in the oyster house, and I thought the scallops wouldn't come off easily because they were fresh, but I saw a sign that said, ``Please grill the flat side (the scallop side) for about 3 minutes first.'' It was a huge mistake!
While walking along a nearby mountain path, I noticed something moving in the woods, which turned out to be a Black-faced Bunting. When I followed them down to the waterway, I found four Black-faced buntings feeding intently on the slope of a developed area.
