鹡鸰故事：这一天应该是美丽的一天。

凌晨4点起床。梳洗后，喝了一杯温麦片就离开家！路途中还是有一点雨。

到了目的地大概7点15分，已经有几辆车在拍 Common Starling 了。天气还是灰灰的！

不久在另一个稻田拍到 White Wagtail，虽然鸟在蛮远的地方但是还是可以接受的！

大概11点吧，和几位鸟友到我找到的White Wagtail的稻田试一试再找给他们。结果没一会儿突然发现了这只稀有的 Citrine Wagtail。心情兴奋到极点。可惜鸟真的太远了和还没有拍到就飞掉！吃了午餐再回到原点，没找到！。。。。。。

第二天，被另一位鸟友用超长镜头把它收下！谢谢你的照片，证明我看对了！
