お散歩撮影 / Taking a walk and photographs

Since I can’t use the car, I look for birds in parks I can walk to.

In winter, we are familiar with the Pale Thrush. They seem to have poor eyesight despite their love of the bush, and when I walk along the mountain path before sunrise, I often get within a meter of them and they don’t run away. Unfortunately, the fact that they cannot see me from the other side means that it is too dark for me to photograph them.

Large-billed Crow. It is easier to take beautiful pictures in the forest without direct sunlight.

It has its mouth full of some kind of berries. In the photo taken from another angle, it had at least five in its mouth.

I found a Grey Bunting in a dimly lit bush. This was the first time it was spotted in the neighborhood.

They came out to where I could see them, but it was dark!
