2019年4月28日、晴天でも朝は気温は低かった。11時頃になると暖かくなりオオルリは公園の鳥獣保護区から飛び出し 遊歩道横の林に何回か移って気持ちよさそうに歌った。
April 28, 2019, although it was fine, the temperature was low in the morning. It became warm at around 11 o’clock, and a Blue-and-white flycatcher flew out of the park’s wildlife sanctuary and moved to the forest next to the promenade several times and sang comfortably.

オオルリが枝から飛び上がりまた同じ木の細い枝に戻った。オオルリは嘴で昆虫をつまんでいた。このオオルリの背中を見ると青い羽毛が少なく まだ若いオスのようだ。
The Blue-and-white flycatcher jumped from the branch and returned to the thin branch of the same tree. The flycatcher had pinched insects with the beak. Looking at the back of this bird, it looks like a young male with less blue feathers.

2019年4月28日、公園の森に行くと、野鳥写真撮影グループの姿が見られた。鳥獣保護区内の木の枝でオオルリがさえずっていた。 メスもいた。この場所は柵で囲まれているので中に入ることはできず、木の枝が多く写真撮影には向かない。
When I went to the forest of the park on April 28, 2019, I saw a wild bird photographer group. A Blue-and-white flycatcher was singing at a tree branch in the wildlife sanctuary. There was also a female. This place is surrounded by fences and cannot be entered and is not suitable for photography with many tree branches.

オオルリは12時を過ぎても林の間を移動してさえずったり虫を捕ったりしていた。前日が雨だったためかな？
The Blue-and-white flycatcher had been moving through the woods past twelve o’clock and was singing and catching insects. Is it because it was rainy the day before?
