There are some good places for birding locally but just we haven't managed to go round as much as we'd love to and one of them is here by the Sakazuki.
nice day! (but chilly!)
Over the reedbeds on one side of the bank, a Grey heron (Aosagiアオサギ) was showing his back to me as if he was sulking😁
A Bull-headed shrike (Mozuモズ) was blended in the background, looking for his prey.
A huge mixed flock was passing through the reeds.
Japanese tits, Long-tailed tits, Japanese white-eyes, Japanese pygmy woodpeckers were seen and I even heard calls of a Ruddy-breasted crake! Unfortunately, there's no pic of them.
because of this.
From the size and the surrounding environment, my guess is that it was a female sparrowhawk or a goshawk.
It circled over the woodlands by the river, and flew away very quickly and quietly.
A Common kingfisher (kawasemiカワセミ)
and a Japanese wagtail (Segurosekireiセグロセキレイ) turned up by the water.
I should come back and walk a bit longer on the path next time👍
