Birds of Tokyo residents return on the Sumida River!
Did you know that the birds of the Tokyo residents are gulls?
Also, do you know that the Japanese gull is a "migratory bird"?
Miyakodori, which also became the name of the new transportation "Yurikamome", "Yurikamome", is actually "migratory bird".
A bird of Tokyo residents who left Japan in the summer has returned to the Sumida River again this year.
This photo shows a lily plum that I saw on the Sumida River at the end of October last week.
The gull is a migratory bird, leaving Japan in spring and returning to Japan in early winter.
It seems that summer is the breeding season, so it basically does not nest in Japan.
How to distinguish Yurikamome

There are several types of seagull in Japan. Do you know how to distinguish Japanese plums?
It is characterized by red beaks and red feet.
In fact, both the photo on the right and the photo on the left are gulls.
It looks a little different even though it's the same gull!
In Japan, the black-headed gull is black in spring, as shown in the photo on the right.
It's a sign that you leave Japan when your head gets black.
On the other hand, as shown in the photo on the left, the head of the gull that visits Japan in early winter is white.
It is characterized by something like black spots from the eyes to the back of the head.
I felt that winter was coming again this year due to the arrival of the lily turtle.
