The Shashambo (Sea bilberry) in the park on the hill is ripening, and wild birds are visiting. The most frequent visitors are Hiyodori (brown-eared bulbul), White-eyes, and Pale thrushes. While the former two eat the fruit on the trees, the white thrush eats only the fallen fruit. Shashambo is a member of the Vaccinium family and is very close to blueberry. Fruits are full of vitamins and anthocyanins, and are probably sweeter this time of year. The the Pale thrush didn't seem to run away when I approached it, but was still pecking at the berries.
