Given how far Hokkaido is from Europe, it seems a bit surprising how many bird species wintering on this Japanese island have a name starting with “Eurasian” Or how many of these species I have also seen in my parents’ garden in Germany. In science speak, this is named the optimal body mass hypothesis.

The birds were too far away to identify, and I know more than one species does this, but if I had to guess they were starlings. There is a bit of science news.
