アサクラサンショウクイ滞在中

アサクラサンショウクイを久しぶりに見てきました。人が集まるのを避けてゆっくり見られる場所で観察。 昨年のアサクラサンショウクイ と同様にホウオウボクにつく緑色のシャクトリムシを食っていました。

Ashy Minivet

Ashy Minivet, first-winter. Busy moving around in search of insects, but when I watched quietly it stopped to preen. That's when you get your shot.

It moved to an Akagi tree. It didn't seem to be eating the berries, so it was apparently still after insects.

Rosy Starling

Rosy Starling, juvenile. Moult is progressing. If it stays until spring we might get to see that stunning plumage…

White-shouldered Starling

White-shouldered Starling, adult male.

Naumann's Thrush

A Naumann's Thrush that thinks it's hiding.
