Blue rock thrush
イソヒヨドリ
2 sightings
I was quite chuffed the first time I spotted a blue rock thrush in Enoshima - I hadn’t seen one before. I spotted it again when hiking Mt Iwadono and got a nice picture.
A male blue rock thrush I spotted near the end of my hike to Mt Iwadono - much more striking than the female with its blue and orange plumage.
It seemed surprisingly tame to humans as it hopped towards us - but I realised then its prime target was a bug, which it snached up in its beak and flew off. Luckily I managed to get a picture of it.
