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.

A long-billed crow perched on a thick tree branch, looking towards the distance, and seen from below. The background is a mix of green and white spots of the laves against the sky in the distance
The common kingfisher is now perched on a bamboo stick coming off the surface of a pond, which has some red leaves floating on the surface. The bird is rising on its feet, but they’re sunken into its feathers, so it looks just plopped on the bamboo
The common kingfisher is now perched on a low branch with yellow leaves just above the water (not visible), inspecting its surroundings
A common kingfisher perched on a branch stub sticking off the water. It is holding a small fish in its beak. The fish is flailing trying to get loose
