Common Starling was rather common around the area of Arasaki 25-26/1. We also saw a few in Tokyo area. Acc o wikipedia they should not be in Japan but they was.

Well, crows are common birds but it would still have been nice with a closeup. But snowstorms made it pretty hard.

There was not much information on this bird. But I guess this is a female. She did not seem to enjoy the snow.

Some well known birds from many places that I also found in Japan. The first two I know from Sweden, where I live and the Little egret seem to be all around the globe except for the northern part.
