Japanese Robin

• It is one of the three songsters of the Japanese forest, a traditional trio of songbirds that the country's culture regards as having the most beautiful song, together with the Japanese bush warbler and the blue-and-white flycatcher.
• Its song begins with a high, drawn-out trill followed by a descending series, and the males sing from inside the understorey, hardly ever showing themselves.
• The subspecies of the Izu Islands, south of Tokyo, is considered a threatened taxon in its own right, with a very small population isolated from the rest.
