December left-overs from Fukuoka.

Contrary to the birding fields in the rest of Kyushu, Fukuoka gets few Pipits and Buntings. So, when I see some, I stop to watch. 


Buff-bellied Pipit, タヒバリ





And sometimes I watch Wagtails as well.
White Wagtail, ハクセキレイ


In Kanatake, during the walk, the caterpillars of the Japanese Siren butterfly, ゴマダラチョウ, were seen on the Chinese Celtis tree, エノキ, where they would fall to the ground and wait out the cold winter.





A different colored hopper. Red from the cold?





Who's nest was this?



Aridoshi, アリドオシ with lots of berries


On the way back, a flock of Northern Lapwings, タゲリ crossed my path
