A flock of around 40 birds circled the area of Imazu in the first week of October. They liked to perch on the electrical wires. A rush into the trees resulted in a lot of movement, but no images, as they all disappeared in the foliage. Occasionally, some came out on top.
Mid September held a few surprises. Number 1:
Male Brown Shrike, シマアカモズ 2nd time this year
The large flocks have dissipated, divided into smaller groups that roam around northern Kyushu. Still, the big river that runs along the west is a popular place to stop by.
September 18 I saw a lock of 15 birds in the morning. After work I went in search and found huge flocks around the river. Hundreds, maybe a thousand Starlings were flying back and forth between the river banks. The next day (today) I went again and saw even more birds, bigger flocks, more than 1 thousand, all along the river, flying from tree to tree, mile after mile. I was stunned!
Trees full of birds. I can hear more than I see
