Niodori Park - Misato

I spent a couple of hours birding at Niodori Park this morning. I was primarily after a good clean shot of a wagtail but they were hard to find today. The wagtails were surprisingly hard to find today but I made up for it with a couple of new species. So all in all it was a good morning.



White Cheeked Starling

 A relatively common visitor to the park.

Daurian Redstart (female)

I believe this is a Daurian Redstart female but I'm not 100% on identification here. The male is very colourful but I didn't see any males around.




Oriental Greenfinch

 Another first sighting species, a pair of Oriental Greenfinches. They were hard to photograph since they didn't like me getting too close. This image is cropped more than I would like. I probably need 800mm or more of reach for these guys.

White Wagtail (ssp. lugens)

These guys were the purpose of my outing but only showed up as I was leaving and didn't hang around long either. The other day I got a reasonable shot with just 35mm of focal length. Today I needed all 400mm and a cropped sensor camera.
