I arrived an
hour early for the monthly meeting of the Wild Bird Society in Imazu (Yes, I
got the time wrong. It’s from June that we start at 8:00am) and decided to
drive around a bit, hoping as usual for something spectacular to come up. Then,
when it did I was totally unprepared. A Siberian Rubythroat sat perched on a branch
right in front of me. It waited patiently till I had stopped the car, opened
the window and taken out the camera and it even allowed me these few shots,
before it disappeared into the darkness of the bushes.

Rubythroat, ノゴマ
Other birds
seen that day included these Dunlins and Black-winged Stilts. Actually, the
list was quite long, with lots of different shorebirds, mostly migrators that
stop briefly on the mudflats before continuing north to their breeding grounds.
