Inage Yacht Harbour

Chiba-city put up a rope-fence around the possible little tern breeding site to protect the birds again for this year.

I went to see if any little terns have arrived as I do volunteering for putting up the fence as well as monitoring the birds for the last couple of years.

A pair of Little Ringed Plovers (Kochidoriコチドリ) were looking good:)

Hope there'll be Little Ringed Plover chicks dashing around the beach later on!

A male Skylark (Hibariヒバリ) was busy singing as well.

There was no sign of little terns yet but it was still early and I was happy to see LR plovers and skylarks getting ready for the season:)
