Yesterday, I
heard them in two places, so I went out early this morning to take pictures of
them.
Please forgive
the slightly out of focus image as it was shot handheld.
P.S.
The Narcissus Flycatcher breeds from Sakhalin to the whole of the Japanese archipelago and neighboring areas, as well as parts of China, and is said to migrate to the Philippines, Borneo, and other Southeast Asian countries to overwinter during the winter months.
Golden week:
One of Japan's largest holiday periods of the year, Golden Week often sees a surge in vacation travel throughout the country. Despite the name, only 4 days of the week are officially designated as public holidays, with workers often opting to take the full week off.
The weather in
the region had been continuing rainy and cloudy until yesterday, but today it
turned sunny and clear.
So I
immediately went out to photograph the 179 cherry trees on the bank of the Tone
River in the neighboring town of Tone.
The cherry
blossoms had already started to fall, and the petals were blowing in the north
wind, forming a flower snowstorm, signaling the end of spring.
Meadow buntings are the only ones that perch there.
This year’s spring,
I tried again to photograph Meadow bunting perched on a stem of a Brassica
campestris (Brassicaceae) in full bloom on an embankment.
I went to a nearby embankment about 30 times, making several round trips along the 1 km each way, that was full of blooms, and finally managed to capture it on camera.I have been following this encountering during the flowering season of this cruciferous flower for three years and for some reason only Meadow bunting perch on cane of these flowers.
There is a saying that the best thing to have is a friend. I always learn a lot from this friend about birding technology. I can think...
