The book is picked up, the tea is served, and the bird-shooting story continues.
Saying that last night we went back to the village friend's house, sausage canned peanut rice, brine tofu, stupid eggs all kinds of small dishes ready to be ready, the countryside small roast, Longshan Spring beer walked up, the three of us pushed the cup to change the cup (to add, this time with me there is also a male friend who took a film), the wine is slightly drunk, and it is dawn.
Hurriedly eat breakfast, set off at eight o'clock and went straight to the ditch bird's nest, the light car was familiar with the road for a few minutes in place, just parked the car, through the window of the car found that the black-throated stone beetle male and female parent birds were feeding the young birds together.
In order to capture the footage of the young birds eating, taking advantage of the gap between the parent birds flying away, the hay blocking the nest was removed a little, and a total of six young birds were found. May find movement, thinking that the parent bird has returned to the nest, the young birds have opened their small mouths.
As soon as I ran back to the car, I found that the male parent bird with the insect had landed on the dry branch on the edge of the nest, and only stayed for a moment before going down to the nest to feed. The removal of the hay from the nest did not attract the attention of the male parent birds (the male has a large heart, the same is true for the human bird). The male parent birds have not finished feeding, and the female parent birds have also returned with bugs and landed on the branches, and it seems that they are no longer worried about our arrival, and are single-mindedly feeding the young birds.
The woman was careful, and you watched the female kissing bird look back at the situation while feeding, as if she had found something wrong, but she quickly dispelled the idea.
Here to share the experience, encounter this need to adjust the bird's nest around the branches and grass sticks to cover the situation, the general principle is that the dead dry branches and hay can be gently removed, the living branches and grass must not be cut, pulled, to use other branches temporarily separate, and so on, the dead dry branches, living branches and grasses are all restored to their original state, in order to protect the nest from being discovered by predators. This is also the basic quality of bird shooters.
Saying that the male parent bird heart is not all right, the heart also has a thin side, as if it intends to cooperate with our shooting, it comes from the side every time it is fed, so that it can expose the young birds, which is convenient for shooting; at the same time, the male parent birds feed the insects, and often stay for a while to check whether there are young birds to defecate, and when they see that there are young birds turning around and picking up their farts, they immediately catch the waste sac discharged by the young birds with their mouths, and eat them away.
Time flies fast when shooting birds, and there are woods?! In the blink of an eye, it was close to evening, and it was decided to go home.
One regret is that there is no shot of the black-throated stone hovering vertical rise and fall, which may be that there is a tree near the nest, which affects the play of this function. Then save this expectation for next time! (The bird flew out a week later and did not shoot again because of work) (End)
