    The first banding record for Chiffchaff Phylloscopls collybita in Japan occurred on April 11, 1998 at the Hiikawa River, Shimane Prefecture, Japan Sea side of western Honshu. Chiffchaff breed mainly from Europe to eastern Siberia, and winter form southern Europeabd north-central Africa to India. Five subspecies are recognized, with P. c. tristis being the only one that breeds east of the Ural Mountains, and thus thought to be geographically isolated from the other subspecies. The first observation record of Chiffchaff (identified as subspecies tristis) in Japan was at Ishikawa Prefecture, central Honshu, in 1997. These records suggested that Chiffchaff, subspecies tristis occasionally wander into Japan.

    Observation and photography of Pacific Golden Plover Pluvialis fulva have been conducted since 1978 at three sites: farmland in Omiya City, just north of Tokyo, tidal flat and adjacent farmland on the island of Okinawa, and on Chichijima island in the Benin islands. Analysis of photographs was used to distinguish three plumage patterns: juvenile, first winter and adult winter plumage. The juvenile plumage shows streaks on breast and forehead, and the back feathers are black with pale semicircular markings at the tip. The adult winter plumage lacks the streaking on breast and forehead. The back feathers show gradations between black and yellowish gold. The first winter plumage lacks the streaking, and has black feathers with pale fringes. The winter plumage show a strong yellowish gold tint immediately after molting, but this gradually fades into whitish.
