We’re getting quite a lot of birds in the garden this Winter. Everyone’s favorite is the Japanese White-eye (mejiro). They’re quite shy but nothing would keep them away from the orange we put on the deck and I was able to video this one up close from the living room window (the pictures are video captures). Here’s a VIDEO of the same bird.
