My trivial thinking

Most wild ducks in this pond have gone to the north. Only a few people were jogging and walking early in the morning. Tonbo-ike Park was very quiet. I was able to enjoy listening to singing birds. Hoojiro / Meadow Bunting On the way back to the parking lot, I saw a big beautiful bird and chased it. But while I pointed a camera at it, the bird was gone.

The weather forecast said it was sunny and going to be hot, the temperature was going up to 18 degrees in the afternoon. I went to Tonbo-ike Park alone in the morning yesterday.

Seguro Sekirei / Japanese Wagtail Yamagara / Varied tit But I couldn't any other birds except for wild ducks and wagtails. I went up the hill and looked for birds along the path. I heard a sound of birdsong, and at last I found  a varied tit. Tugumi / Dusky thrush Jyobitaki / Daurian Redstart (female) I went down behind the hill and found dusky thrushes and a daurian redstart in a bush in the h...
