Male Siberian Rubythroat at Monbetsu in north Hokkaido.


We'd actually taken a wrong turn which resulted in a huge huge detour (and a huge huge row in the car too I might add) but when we hit the coast we found a small car park with this individual singing merrily away.


This species is common on autumn passage in Hakodate but is usually very skulking. In north and east Hokkaido it is a common summer visitor.

  2. Hi Phil, actually Hokkaido has a few what would be megas to UK birders, Red Flanked Bluetail, Ancient Murrelet etc. Wilow Warbler is a mega over here though as are Fieldfare and Blackbird!
