New Arrival

A male Daurian Redstart (Jobitakiジョウビタキ) was by the pond in Aoba-no-mori Park on the 24 of October.  My first Redstart of the season:)

He seemed shy, disappearing into the thicket.

The next day, at the same spot, I saw a female eating berries.  There was no sign of the male though.

She was rather a brave one (or curious) and showed herself really well.

I have heard their 'pheee pheee pheee' calls every day by our flat since that day.
Winter is just around the corner.
