This
birding day started on Shioo yama, where we arrived a bit late, due to heavy
traffic and some bad navigation on my side. We were just talking about wrens,
when one flew by and briefly stopped on a water tower for a sip.
Winter
Wren, ミソサザイ
First time I took a photo of a Winter Wren in Japan where you can actually see the bird and recognize it!
Next, off to the park where our guest
from China is doing well, reportedly taking baths near the fountain and getting
changed in spring plumage.
Yellow-bellied Tit, キバラガラ
Real pretty and cute.
My
computer translates this bird’s name as 臆病シジュウカラ. 臆病 stands
for cowardly, faint-hearted. Most inappropriate for a little bird that bravely
performs in front of cameras and is deprived of her privacy in the bathroom.
In a different corner Japanese Waxwings, ヒレンジャク were
waiting for us.
The lighting wasn't supreme for these
colorful birds, hopefully another time.
I wonder, Is this the same flock as I saw in
Dazaifu before? They seem to move around a lot. One day they are there, the next they're gone...
今日の勉強 臆病 okubyoo, cowardly
勇敢な yuukan na, brave
