ミソサザイ：Eurasian wren (Troglodytes troglodytes )

谷筋にミソサザイの姿を見ました。雄雌の判定はできませんが「チッ、チッ」と鳴きながら、素早く斜面を渡っていきます。これだけ小さな鳥が、単独行動しながら厳しい冬を乗り越えていくと思うと、感動してしまいます。

I went into a small valley, when I saw a wren. I couldn't determine whether it was a male or female, but it quickly crossed the slope with a "tsk, tsk" sound. I was moved to think that such a small bird could survive the harsh winter alone.
