White Wagtail (Roosting) | Comment : A large flock of about 550 White Wagtails roosting in a camphor tree and three ginkgo trees near Hachioji Railway Station. The ginkgo trees were starting to shed their yellow leaves; weather was fine; roosting started at around 16:40 and finished 17:20. Some of the birds in the trees jumped out and flew back into the trees several times. They dived into the trees from the top of surrounding tall buildings. | ||||
