Siberian Stonechat

Normally, it would have arrived at its usual spot a long time ago (the earliest date in the past was September 17th), but this year it arrived too late, perhaps due to the heat.

Naturally, the feather color has already been in winter mode.

It migrates to central Honshu and north in Japan to breed as a summer bird.

It can be observed during the spring and autumn migration in central Honshu and the south.
