Golden Week 2024 #27
Dreadful day for photos in the park this morning. Quite a few interesting birds; Green Sandpiper, Eyebrowed Thrush, Common Crossbill, Oriental Cuckoo plus all the usual stuff.
This Wryneck played hide and seek with me. It won.

Parklife
A Falcated Duck was a nice find in the local park. In addition to the crossbills there were also Common Redpoll and lots and lots of thrushes.. mainly Dusky Thrush (which are everywhere at the moment; unusual in autumn) but also several other species.
Some more JTs
in the early early morning the park belongs to the thrushes…
An early Sunday rise
We went to our favourite local park very early this morning.
There was a relatively confiding Japanese Thrush, usually a very shy species.

Golden Week 2023 #1
A very early rise and we were in one of the local parks…and in anticipation of some nice birds I took my big lens.
Nice to find some thrushes that weren’t Duskys.
Not a vintage morning for photos it must be said but a few nice birds around: Wryneck, Hawfinch, Japanese Grosbeak, Oriental Cuckoo, Latham’s Snipe, Russet Sparrow, Grey-headed Woodpecker…
What else will the next few days bring?
The Dark Pool
It was very very dark at the pool near Shikotsuko. Not so many birds around but there was this pair of Japanese Thrush.

Japanese Thrush are common in the park but are a bit wary. This is a male…
And this is a female…
The dark pool #2
Another forest specialty: Japanese Thrush. Very high ISO for these (6400 I think).
