A pair of collared kingfishers@Japanese garden星和园的一对白领翡翠

A pair of collared kingfishers, the male tends to be slightly more blue, while the female tends to be more green. So can you tell the gender of the birds here?
据说白领翡翠的雌雄在羽毛色泽上有些微差别，雄鸟偏蓝，雌鸟偏绿。你能分辨雌雄吗？

Yellow bittern @Chinese garden黄小鹭

Normally, yellow bittern (Ixobrychus sinensis) is very shy and well camouflaged. This morning, I noticed several times that yellow bittern flying out but failed in finding their landing/hiding places. Luckily, just before leaving Chinese garden, I spotted a small yellow bird on the grassland near the water. Then I stayed there taking around 100 photos for this cute bittern. During this period, this bittern caught at least one tiny fish. However, that photo is not focus well due to the "stupid mode" of the camera. Need to upgrade my camera soon!

兔年快乐Sea hare is coming

兔年来了，这里介绍一下海兔。其实这是一类海蛞蝓，和蜗牛一样是软体动物。它的触角有点像兔子耳朵，故名海兔。不要小看它，Dr. Eric Kandel凭借研究海兔的学习记忆机制获得了2000年诺贝尔生物医学奖。

以下是上次活动看到的其他种类的海蛞蝓
