Some more common birds from the park…
Some more of yesterday’s sparrows…
Lots of this species in the park, the ‘other’ sparrow here in Japan…
Unlike the abundant urban-dwelling Eurasian Tree Sparrows the sexes in this species are different.
Not a vintage morning for photos but the park was full of birds…
Dusky, Japanese and Brown-headed Thrush, Narcissus Flycatcher, Eastern Crowned and Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, Wryneck, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Latham’s Snipe and lots of Russet Sparrow.
And the usual common stuff…
Yesterday Narcissus Flycatcher and Eastern Crowned Warbler were around in the park just outside town, as well as Pale Thrush, Wryneck and all the usual stuff but not many photo opps. Pretty quiet compared to 2021 and 2022 in this location and at this time.
The above Olive-backed Pipit was nice to see and there are always the common species like Russet Sparrow. This is a sparrow species that stays high up in the trees…
And the very common Masked Bunting…this ringed male was in exactly the same corner of the park last year.
