Asian Rosy Finches, ハギマシコ

We had to wait a few hours, while a big flock flew over, hoping they would land in front of us. But those things seldom come to happen and we had to make do with a group of 6, staying briefly at the end of the afternoon.


The first one stayed in the tree to watch out. Senkentai, explorer bird



The background is essential and I was able to shoot at a low angle for a few seconds



After that it was like this. Far from the white snow or the green bush that could supply contrast










However, after the failure of last year, I was happy.

Asian Rosy Finches, ハギマシコ

Not a common sight in Kyushu. There seems to be a number of them visiting Mt Sefuri every winter. I had yet to find them and this month I got lucky. Though the bird is kind of dull for a finch I was quite excited to see 10 or 12 and thought they looked rather pretty in the soft winter sunlight.
















Also in the same area Eurasian Bullfinch, ウソ





Eurasian Jay, カケス
