秋のノビタキ 2019年

Siberian stonechat of Japan in autumn.

Siberian stonechat one of the subspecies of 'Saxicola maurus' is the summer migratory bird of Japan. Now october, they are on the way the south east asia from highland of Japan with winter plumage not characteristic summer plumage especially male blackish.

やっとノビタキがやって来ましたね。二回のリベンジをさせてもらいました。撮影は曇り空の早朝2, 3時間、曇の濃さで光の具合が変わるのも楽しめました。

I don't know why, it seemed like most of the males were close to summer plumage yet. Though, photographing them is our pleasure of this season every autumn.

今年は♂が例年よりも黒かった気がします。

"じゃぁ また!"　みたいなw

We hope to be able to observe and photograph the stonechat migration next year as usual too. Goodbye, stonechat!
