Looking for red 1

The news about Amur Falcon sightings in Imazu sent me flying, These Falcons have reddish tarsi and face-markings.


Eurasian Kestrel, チョウゲンボウ
Pretty bird, but no red markings... 




A few kilometers to the west another one


 Very cute juvenile






But no red.


In between I came across these Common Stonechats, ノビタキ
Some males with a little left-over summer colors, the others pinkish brown. 


They like to perch on poles and sticks around the fields. There were a total of 7 in a row


resident Meadow Bunting, ホオジロ  munching on a bit of rice.
