Siberian Rubythroat, ノゴマ etc

On a day that I thought he had left already. But he was still there, enticed to come out of the bush by his audience. What did they treat him with?

And finally, I got an image of the Brown-headed Thrush, アカハラ

Eyebrowed Thrush, マミチャジナイ was there, too

Siberian Blue Robin, コルリ

 At the end of the afternoon I managed to find an hour to look up this migrating visitor at the park

Appearing briefly, but scared away by people passing by.

Waiting and waiting, nearly giving up. Then, right behind me...!

Shortly after, a bit of a D-tour, below again.

Coming closer and closer

Practicly at my feet. It's 4.55pm.    Who will be leaving first?

Me 😆

Part 3

The Minivets seem to like this place. It started with just 5 or 6 birds, last time there were about 50!　Some Ryukyu Minivets were among the Ashi Minivets. In the photos below, I think there are only Ashi males and females.

The season of colored feathers and winged surprises, part 1

There is so much to see in the city parks at this time of year. I need 4 or 5 posts for 1 day.

I'm still struggling with my new camera. Some surprises hit me, like this photo below.

Kuju in the first half of April - part 1 birds

A little over 2 days in my favorite place in Kyushu. I was wondering which birds had arrived for the summer. At the various checkpoints I could hear the calls of Blue-and-White Flycatchers, Narcissus Flycatchers, Japanese Thrush, and Japanese Robin. But none were eager to come out. While I waited, I enjoyed myself with the small tits and other birds that are usually there.

The morning was cold, minus 3C. This Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ was warming itself in the first sun rays

Coal Tit, ヒガラ were happily feeding around me

picking at aphids

Fearless. At my feet!

No leaves on the trees yet to block my view of a White-backed Woodpecker, オオアカゲラ

Same with the Jays, カケス

The up-side-down Nuthatch, ゴジュウカラ

At the usual spots, Wren, ミソサザイ

Singing the usual songs

Finally, the far-away Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ came into view. April 9th
