I was so encourged by my success of photographing birds on the cotton tree on Thursday, that I went on Saturday, March 21 by myself to Taipei Botanical Garden to try my luck again. There were quite a few bird photographers with tripods and huge telephoto lenses around. I had my 70-300 VR lens and had the advantage of being very mobile. I saw this little yellow bird came to a nearby bush to feed.
I was able to get several quick shots. I found out later that it is a common bird called Japanese White-eye, Zosterops japonicus, it can be found in southern Japan, Taiwan and many parts of China. It is a good "J" for me.

A very good J and a beautiful little bird...
Wow - great photos! Just great!!
Thank you for the visit and the kind comment. Your photography is great - I've been looking back at some of your older posts as well.
You do have a way with bird photography. I don't know the bird here, but I know a good photo when I see it!
How very pretty and new to me.
Thank you for your visit in my greenhouse.
Your pictures are at top standard as usual.
Take care my friend/ Tyra
Wonderful little bird!
Good for you! Sometimes tripods do slow photographers down a bit. Being mobile was a great advantage here. ;-)
What an incredibly beautiful bird!
What a very pretty little thing - and those are great photos! Well done!
It might be a common bird but it's exceptionaly beautiful! Thanks for showing!Thanks for your comment on the concentration camps, which I answered on my blog.
Great shots and a good choice for J.
I noted the use of the 70-300 VR and have looked back through your posts; wonderful shots and some great advice on Nikon and techniques. I have recently bought a D90 and have a 70-300 VR.
I guess that bird is not easy to capture on camera. Thanks for sharing
Ooh, I LOVE his coloring! Great shots, especially the first one. There is definitely something to be said for being mobile with your camera when things around you are changing.
