canola flower and Hamarikyu Garden

[Sam] April 6, 2012 08:30

RIMG2461LS.JPG RIMG2466RSG.JPG This year's cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloom on March 31, five days later than normal and three days later than last year.

Yoshino cherry tree in Hamarikyu Garden also blooms about a week later than last year.

I heard that this weekend will be in full bloom, but this year it is likely that there will be a competition between canola flower and cherry blossoms due to the weather.

In the canola flower field, a lot of brown-eared bulbul is flying around canola flower.

I heard that brown-eared bulbul was originally a winter bird that came around October and passed around April, but in recent years it has become one of the most commonly found birds in urban areas, as well as parks with satoyama and trees.

During the non-breeding season, they forage mainly fruits, leaves and buds, prefer nectar, and prey on insects in breeding season.
