千葉県こんぶくろ池自然博物公園のアカゲラ, Great spotted woodpecker in Konbukuro-Pond Natural History Park, Chiba, Japan.


2017年4月4日、こんぶくろ池自然博物公園を散歩した。小さい草原周辺の木の枝に止まった1羽のキツツキを見た。すぐに飛んで別の木に移動した。 キツツキは木の幹を歩いて餌を探していたが、木はかなり高かったのでその姿は見えにくい。キツツキはまた別の木に移動した。やや近くなったが、残念ながら逆光状態なので良い写真を撮れない。キツツキはアカゲラのメスだ。以前、ここでアカゲラのメスを見た。このアカゲラはこの林に棲んでいるのかもしれない。。
On Apr. 4, 2017, I strolled in Konbukuro-Pond Natural History Park. I saw a Great spotted woodpecker perched on the branch of the tree around the small grassy plain. The woodpecker soon moved to a different tree. The woodpecker was looking for food by walking on the tree trunk, but the tree was rather high, so its appearance was difficult to see. The woodpecker moved to another tree again. Somewhat close, but unfortunately I could not take good pictures because it was almost backlit. The woodpecker is a female of Great spotted woodpecker. Once I saw it in this forest. This woodpecker may live in this forest.
