and saw this male ジョウビタキ at Jindaiji Botanical Garden. My cousin often posts stunning bird photos on Facebook. So I asked him to take me birding some time. He's the photographer, but his wife is the one who knows all about birds and blogs about them. I coveted my cousin's 500mm lens and his 1.6x cropped sensor whereas I had to crop my photo into a fraction of the image I captured.
