Birdwatching in downtown Tokyo (January 21, 2011)

Can you believe all photos below were taken in Tokyo metropolitan area!

Certainly, I'm satisfied with photographing Orange-flanked Bush-Robin and Grey Bunting.  However, I was bit worrying about by products of artificial feeding of birds.  Photographers in Japan often feed birds artificially.  Both Orange-flanked Bush-Robin and Grey Bunting are so tame due to the feeding.  It's so a good opportunity to see Grey Bunting very well as it is generally very shy and secretive.  But, too much feeding may change behaviour of birds....

  1. Hi!
    We are heading to Japan in a few days, and I would love to see some birds! We will mostly be in the Naval base area of Yokosuka, about an hour or so south of Tokyo. Any ideas?
