Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is “Family Paridae – Tits, Chickadees & Titmice.” So here’s a young Japanese (Cinereous) Tit with those bright, sparkling eyes ✨🪶😊

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is the Kestrel, but I’m going with the alternative — one of the Tit species.
Here in Hokkaido, Japan, it has to be the Japanese (Cinereous) Tit! 🪶😊

Every now and then, I spot this Cinereous Tit with a rather square-shaped head. Honestly, it looks like a bird version of a buzz-cut big bro — a true KAKUGARI legend. Am I the only one seeing this? 🪶🤔

This is clearly a failed shot—but when it’s a Cinereous Tit with bold white eyebrows, I’ll take it. Totally caught off guard seeing it somewhere unexpected! 😅🪶
