Remote birding

Quick virtual trip to Japan gave me two more species: Grey Heron  (Ardea cinerea)  and Oriental Storks  (Ciconia boyciana) . The location was Village Park of Hyōgo Prefecture in Toyooka-shi, Japan. The camera URL is: http://stk.pref.hyogo.lg.jp/ . The actual site for the storks is  http://www.stork.u-hyogo.ac.jp ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author Olli Haukkovaara email: olli.haukkovaara @ proton.me Valkeakoski, Finland

  You'll probably know what birding means - yes, it's watching the birds i.e birdwatching. But remote birding? Well, in remote birding you don't need binoculars, scope nor camera, but  you must have internet connection and TV to watch birds. So, I'm trying to see and identify birds in  live TV broadcasts  and through  online webcams . I will not pay any attention to recordings or movies, all the birds must be out there somewhere right at the same moment when I see them. I'm also trying to capture photos of all the birds, whenever it's possible. At this moment this is just an experiment - I'm just curious on how many bird species I can see and identify via cables! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author Olli Haukkovaara email: olli.haukkovaara @ proton.me Valkeakoski, Finland
