Near Aioi Bridge in daurian redstart

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] January 26, 2017 18:00

Finally, on the Sumida River Terrace near Aioi Bridge, where I introduced Iso brown-eared bulbul the other day! I found a male daurian redstart. Since I found daurian redstart female here near Aioi Bridge on November 3, last year, I have been looking forward to seeing no males.

 

Here's

Joubitaki is a winter bird that comes to Japan for wintering from the breeding grounds of Mongolia and northeastern China. Outside of the breeding season, there is a strong sense of territory, so unlike waterbird ducks where male and female act together and small bird hakusekirei, each male and female act independently.

If you look closely at the chic outfit in the distance, it is quite fashionable. Since you usually act alone, did you do your best in case of emergency? ?

It is difficult to observe and shoot small birds, but when I looked at them gently, they came nearby.

Take a walk on the Sumida River terrace where you can relax and see Mr. daurian redstart's stand in the calm winter sunshine.
