White's Thrush, トラツグミ

So this is White's Thrush and the one in Iriomote Island is the Scaly Thrush. OK, I'll go with the new name.

February 2nd, It's setsubun, this year a day earlier than usual. Will spring start a bit earlier too? The news of  these Thrushes was that 5 were seen on one day. That is also unusual. I tried my luck at lunch-time on this weekday, between 2 work locations and guess what? I saw 3! 


The first one, below, was covering a big part of the field.









A 2nd one appeared (below) and sent the 1st one backwards. Out of the other's territory I guess.





Right after that another one flew at the far back, nr 3. Sorry, no photo.
The one below was taken later and is bird nr 1 I think

What a thrushy day!
