A male Grey Bunting at the forest pool from our recent trip.
This is another shy forest species that I rarely get the chance to photograph....................
This is a scarce but regular passage visitor through Hakodate, I also see them in Onuma sometimes. they are real skulkers and like the dark damp areas of the forest.
The male is a beautiful bird I think. As you can see the light was very good for some of its poses.............
Although it was darker where it was bathing..................
This is a female.
another beautiful bird and pictures
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHello Stuart!:) It is a beautiful grey bird, and you have captured it in perfect light. Love all your images, even the female is a sweet looking bird, but the male is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I usually only see immature birds that don't look as nice as this one..........
DeleteGreat looking species and nice setting, Stu.
ReplyDeleteThanks Russell..........
DeleteThat's a new one on me Stu. Great pictures as it's not too often that woodland allows photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure once the greenery spreads it'll be darker..............
DeleteNICE bunting - we don't get those here in HK
ReplyDeleteThe adult males look great in the sun........
