エナガエナガエナガ！ / Long-tailed Titssss!

Birds

This time, Long-tailed Tits (Enaga) are everywhere. No Enaga dumplings (エナガ団子), though.

I spotted a flock of Long-tailed Tits moving through the trees in the park. I anticipated their path and waited for them to gather in the best position, so I could take all the pictures I wanted for a while.

I took out my frustration of not being able to see any Shima-enaga (white subspecies of Long-tailed Tit) in Hokkaido on the Enagas (though the Enagas are not to blame).

As I wrote in my Hokkaido post, Long-tailed Tits seem to be everywhere and are hard to find when you look for them. I want to take pictures when I have the chance.

While I was distracted by the nearby pond, the flock quickly went away. I knew I should take pictures of Long-tailed Tits when I see them.
