Starlings, cranes and a weasel

From a distance they seem to be all black, but when the light is right their true colors come out, shining green, purple and blue and dotted with little white specks like stars. Starlings

Common (European) Starling, ホシムクドリ

There was a flock of over 50 birds in the field

From small birds to big birds, White-naped Cranes, マナツル

No bird, a mammal. I seem to have special luck with them this month, Japanese Weasel, イタチ
