mouse, bat, frog ネズミ、コウモリ、モリアオガエル
I was really lucky to get this (my first and only) footage of a bat. They are usually so fast that by the time the camera reacts to them they are out of field. But this time, there was already a mouse in action, triggering the camera just in time to catch the bat.
Then came another surprise performer; a frog, probably a "forest green tree frog" モリアオガエル, who'd been part of a mating party in the tree above and gotten pushed out by another member of the party.
The mouse continued his business and the water skaters were pretty much oblivious to the whole thing. I tried to see if the bat took anything from the surface of the water but can't see anything. Can you?

サンコウチョウ Paradise Flycatcher [Terpsiphone atrocaudata] &ソウシチョウ Red-billed Leiothrix [Leiothrix lutea] This is hard to see because it's after sunset, but if you look carefully tyou can see the two (non-native) Leiothrix bathing throughout. 4 seconds after the start and again 3 seconds before the end, there is a splash. I'm pretty sure it's our resident Paradise Flycatcher. If you wind back the vi...

The other day, I put out some wooden rulers to show the scale in the videos. Today I checked the cameras and this is what I found. 先日、現れる生き物の大きさがわかるために大工の折り畳め定規をバラバラにして、適当に池の に置きました。 今日、撮れた動画をチェックしたところ、リスがこんなことをしていた。

the Blue-and-White Flycatcher Family from another angle。  オオルリ家族 I tried to crop the image in Photos but the file fails to export properly. Zoom in to the top right two thirds to see the detail. BTW, the female wears a blue "skirt", so the bird next to the male at the start must be one of his chicks. Where's Mum? Mac の Photos でTrim して、右上の部分だけにしたんだけどなぜか export に失敗した。 どうしてらいいでしょうか?

Today I found a better view in a bit of new footage which confirms my earlier guess. It really is a サンコウチョウ Paradise Flycatcher [Terpsiphone atrocaudata]. Watch the bottom of the screen to see its approach in reflection. P.S. 240614 Today it was singing out there so I took a look from the window and "splash", there it was again. After that it stayed around and sang for a while. Here's a recordi...

ハクビシンも池に来ました。A civet cat (Paguma larvata)
Переглядів 60Місяць тому
ハクビシンも池に来ました。 The civet cat (Paguma larvata) is common in Japan (and a regular visitor to our garden) but is probably not native. It's reputed to have been imported as a source of fur. Very agile and not afraid to raid human food stores. Nearly as bad as raccoons (NOT native to Japan) but able to climb trees and cross streets using power cables. DSCF0005

This is just to give you a feeling for the forest around the pond. July 13th, 2023, so the cicadas are busy and モリアオガエル* have been spawning in the tree overhanging the pond. モリアオガエル: "Mori-ao-gaeru", [Japanese Forest Green Tree Frog (Zhangixalus arboreus: Rhacophoridae)]
Splash! I'd suspected the other bird was a Paradise Flycatcher (サンコウチョウ)[Terpsiphone atrocaudata] .

There is a splash but it's hard to see what makes it. The bird concerned either doesn't mind that the gray-eared bulbuls (ヒヨドリ)are there, or regards them as a good warning system. Bulbuls too don't stand in the water to bathe but jump in and out without stopping. Add your suggestions in the comments please. PS Today I found a better view in a bit of new footage.

They used to graze in our garden in broad daylight, but we haven't seen many deer for the past couple of years, but they are still out there in the woods. This one visited our pond for a sip. before dawn. The camera was located to catch the wrens (which bathe in the foreground and seem to appear out of the cavities between the rocks) the crow (who likes the board sloping into the water), and nu...

家に一番近い池はコンクリートでできているから、漏れる。屋根からの雨水がここに流れるように工夫してありますが、満杯になっても一週間で空になります。水があるうちに小鳥が大勢訪れる。こちらはシジュウカラとキビタキの雄が仲良く浸かっています。 シジュウカラ [Parus minor] relative of the Great Tit [Parus major] キビタキのオス [Ficedula narcissina] Narcissus Flycatcher ♂
