Jaapani kuldnokk, Agropsar philippensis

Jaapani kuldnokk pesitseb Jaapanis ja venemaa Kaug-Idas (sealhulgas Sahhalinil ja Jaapanilt varastatud saartel) ning talvitub Filipiinidel ja teatud paigus Indoneesias. Tema toidulaud koosneb pesitsusajal peamiselt putukatest ja teistest selgrootutest, talvitusaladel aga lülitub kuldnokk ümber puuviljadele ning marjadele — sealhulgas palmiviljadele. Foto sai tehtud Fuji mäe jalamil, Jaapanis.

The Chestnut-cheeked Starling breeds in Japan and far eastern russia (including Sakhalin and the islands stolen from Japan) and winters in the Philippines and parts of Indonesia. Its diet consists mainly of insects and other invertebrates during the breeding season, shifting to fruit and berries — including palm fruits on its wintering grounds — outside the breeding period. The photo was taken at the foot of Mount Fuji, in Japan.
