Lots of Japanese Waxwings, ヒレンジャク

After a visit to the park downtown another one was due, this one with at least 100 Waxwings I was told. Indeed, it was overwhelming!




In the morning the trees around me were full of the whistling sounds that these birds make. They spent a lot of time waiting for the right moment. And then they all come down to descent in their favorite fruiting tree, False Daphne, ユズリハ、Daphniphyllum macropodum








Taking a break
















At midday, it was time for a drink. Many people were waiting for this, their cameras ready. 




The sky was overcast. Nevertheless, the glare on the wet surface made it hard to get good shots.







Briefly back to the trees, but there were not many berries left...




Every birder was looking out for the yellow-colored Bohemiens, but I could not find any...




At another tree among some White-cheeked Starlings were 4 or 5 Common Starlings, ホシムクドリ
