Dark-eyed junco along Clear Creek Trail yesterday.

One of my favorite winter birds & my favorite sparrow species.

A very floofy and sleepy bird I saw today on my way back to the workshop after lunch.

And lastly for today, the ever-present in the garden Brown-Eared Gulgul, which has an interesting squeaky call and long (think 3-5s long) raspy group calls, as well as the cute, tiny, and hard to spot Ryukyu Minivet, which I only saw once the entire day (I’m sure I heard it more than once, but missed spotting it.)

Next, and industrious Varied Tit which I spotted finding seeds and cracking them up by holding them with their feet while smashing them with their beaks (like crows) which was quite impressive for a lil birb. And also this Japanese White-eye, which I only spotted from from away (these photos are cropped from 600mm), and which are really cute!

Today I spent most of the day at the Meiji Jingu garden and Yoyogi Park. It is full of birds of different species, some more numerous than others.

Here’s a thread of the bird pics I took, starting with the star of the show, this gorgeous Kingfisher who posed for me for a while, as well as a crow whose call sounded like someone saying “ah ah” monotonously.

I saw one of these tiny cute birds at a local bus stop earlier. It was very tame and seemed to have learnt to scavenge little bits left by humans. Anyone have idea what it was? I'm in SE England.

In case you missed it, the excellently cute "Owls in Towels" has a new account on the Fediverse at:

🦉 @owlsintowels

If you were previously following their old account you will need to manually refollow their new account, as their server shut down before they had a chance to transfer properly.

If you don't know the account, when wildlife homes take care of owls they often have to wrap them in towels to stop them flapping about. This makes them look very sweet! 🥰
