Date: One day in February, 2022
Location: Hokura Plum Grove, Kobe City
One day in February, I went birding to Okamoto, Higashinada-ku, Kobe City. On this day, I wanted to take pictures of wild birds with plum blossoms.
After getting off the train at Okamoto Station, I headed for the Hokura Plum Grove. The first birds that greeted me on the way up was a flock of Japanese Grosbeaks. It was the first time I saw them, so I was very happy.

After that I was able to take pictures of Hawfinchs and Brown-eared Bulbuls. Brown-eared Bulbuls were seem to be more round than usual, probably because of the cold.

As soon as I arrived at the Hokura Plum Grove, I spotted two male Red-flanked Bluetails. They seemed to be flying around and playing in the plum forest.

On the way back, Red-Billed Leiothrixs appeared with a beautiful song. It was my first encounter with them. I was so excited and took pictures like crazy.

I realized that I had taken very few pictures of the plum blossoms. But I was very satisfied with my birding this day.
