Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (20 January, 2013)

Likely last weekend, it was a warm and calm day. Highlight of the day was a female Long-tailed Rosefinch. It was briefly seen or photographed. A male Daurian Redstart and Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker were very tame and allowed me to approach closer.

Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (January 13, 2013)

A warm and peaceful day. Although no special bird was seen, a very good day for photographing birds. Comparing to last week, very few number of Bullfinches were seen while no Long-tailed Rosefinch was seen.
