Birdwatching in Matsudo (March 27, 2011)

  As I found a Golden-crowned Sparrow has started changing the plumage, I re-visited Matsudo City.  There were only less than five birdwatchers when I arrived at 7:15 a.m..  The sparrow was singing with unfamilar call, which reminded me Yellow-breasted Bunting, White-throated Sparrow and Blue-and-Whte Flycatcher, but was different from all.
  It was often singing in middle storey of willow tree while it sometimes sang from reedbed.  It probably takes another two or three weeks to be full breeding plumage.
  When it was feeding on the ground, it sometimes dig on the ground by its legs unlikely buntings.
  Taiga (or Red-breasted Flycatcher) was still in the same reedbed.  It was agile but much easier than the sparrow to see.  So, I enjoyed photographing it for 1 hour after photographing the Golden-crowned Sparrow
