We have lots of Japanese Grosbeaks here in Kyushu. During the summer, they stay at the top of the trees, mostly in the cool mountain areas. In winter, they come down to the city parks and descend from the trees to find food and water. Watching them at a waterbassin is a lot of fun, especially when a different colored bird joins the crowd. The Chinese Grosbeak. Many keen photographers with huge lenses gather and wait for that moment.
Yeah, there he is!
Black head, orange flanks, slightly smaller posture and a different song. When I listen to a recording it seems clear, but out in the field I can't catch it 😝
After a few seconds it flew up in the trees.
Hope to see more next time.
The following day. I returned early. Too early for the gates - I didn't know. Sorry
Koikaru stopped for just a second. Why the hurry?
Up in the trees again...
The others are having a party
