Okuyama (Jan. 24)

I walked around our neighborhood of Okuyama, Himeji this morning.

I was happy to take photos of different birds like below. 

 

I took the pictures which show the towers reflected in the pond.

 

Kisekirei or Grey Wagtail

This is a close up photo of above.

You can see the bird, but its yellow body is blurred. 

 

 

Hakusekirei or White Wigtail

 

Please take a look at its cheek - the color is white.

Seguro Sekiri or Japanese Wagtail

Their cheek is black.

They look very similar -
but you can distinguish by the color of its cheeks.

Jobitaki or Daurian Redstart

Mozu or Bull-headed Shrike

Mejiro or Japanese White-eye

Mukudori or White-cheeked Starling

Kosagi or Little Egret

 

These photos were taken by a single-lens reflex camera.

Model: Canon EOS Kiss X6i.

Lens: EFS 55-250mm
