Yellow-throated Bunting

Yellow-throated Bunting

Whilst watching the eagles perform their stuff up at Yakumo I noticed a small bird flitting around the bushes.

Small birds have been thin on the ground this winter. Hopefully that will change soon…………

It was a male Yellow-throated Bunting. This is a regular but scarce winter visitor to Hokkaido and I rattled off some shots in between the eagles.
