Four Seasons of FANUC November, 2025

Japanese Green Woodpecker (Aogera)
A woodpecker with vibrant green feathers. Sightings are not frequent, so an encounter can be considered lucky.

Great Spotted Woodpecker (Akagera)
Though the “Aka” in the Japanese name means “red,” the bird’s color does not seem to fully live up to its name. In fact, it doesn’t look very different from the Japanese Green Woodpecker…

Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker (Kogera)
Often seen together with other small birds such as Long-tailed Tits and Japanese White-eyes, its distinctive call sounding like “gii!” makes it easy to recognize.

Varied Tit (Yamagara)
When pointing your camera toward the sound of tapping on a tree, often a Varied Tit can be found pecking at a nut. This bird does not belong to the family of woodpeckers but instead, is a member of the tit family.
