Not a very good photo but it is a bird I've never photographed before. A female Ashy Minivet at Onuma today.............
This is scarce in Hokkaido but a fairly common summer visitor further south in Japan, Only the 3rd time I've seen one and just the 2nd one I've seen in Hokkaido.
After several weeks of very clear weather we had a nasty dark cold windy rainy day, it was bound to happen.
