メジロ Mountain White-eye Japan

The warbling white-eye (Zosterops japonicus), also known as the Japanese white-eye and mountain white-eye, is a small passerine bird in the white-eye family. The specific epithet is occasionally written japonica, but this is incorrect due to the gender of the genus. Its native range includes much of East Asia, including the Russian Far East, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and the Philippines. It has been intentionally introduced to other parts of the world as a pet and as pest control, with mixed results. As one of the native species of the Japanese islands, it has been depicted in Japanese art on numerous occasions, and historically was kept as a cage bird. The warbling white-eye is olive green on its back, from anterior to posterior, and is pale green on its underside. Its feet, legs, and bill range from black to brown. It has a green forehead and a yellow throat. The white-eye has rounded wings and a long, slender bill – both of which indicate this bird to be very acrobatic. Its wings are dark brown but outlined in green. Like other white-eyes, this species exhibits the distinctive white eyering that gives it its name (mejiro also meaning "white eye" in Japanese). I took this photo at Numazu Ita Shizuoka Japan. It’s so beautiful combined with Pinky Kawazu Sakura Japan. To get here it taken about 2 hours from Shizuoka City by car. We have to hike about 20 minutes to reach Ida Shooting point Kawazu Sakura Yoshino Sakura It is the highest point. If you planning to go there I strongly recommend you to use the car, due to quite being difficult to reach by public transportation. And this spot is for sunrise so we have to come early, please bring the headlamp for that.
