The Blue Rock Thrush Monticola solitarius is a bird in the genus Sparidae, with five subspecies widely distributed across Eurasia and Africa to Pacific islands, and the subspecies Monticola solitarius philippensis is distributed nationwide as resident birds (summer birds in Hokkaido). Although it is named a sunbird, it is not closely related to a sunbird, but is close to a thrush. The length is about 21-23cm, and the female is a little small, but the size difference between male and female is not much. The color of the coat varies widely between male and female, and the male is blue from head to back and upper tail cylinder like winter, and the belly and lower rain cover from chest to lower tail cylinder is dark red (brick), and the windscreen and tail end are dark blue at a glance. The females are generally brown and beige, and the coloring is plain, but they have fine mottled patterns all over their bodies and have a unique and delicate beauty.

The scientific name Monticola solitarius means a solitary person in the mountains, and the subspecies of Eurasia are known as birds living alone in the high mountains of 2,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. In Japan, it is considered a wild bird that lives only on rocky beaches and beaches.
Perhaps the reason why the Japanese archipelago came to nest in cliffs along the coast is because unlike the continent where the vast inland mountainous areas spread, there were many rocky areas along the sea that they liked.
However, since the late 1980s, when urbanization began, the appearance of an isohyodori gradually began to be seen on the inland building blocks and on the exterior walls of factories. “The “”Japanese Wild Bird (Mountain and Valley Shrine)””, revised in 1991, states that it will enter inland.” Originally, it was thought that they would stay in inland areas on a whim during the season of solo activities from around autumn, but breeding was gradually confirmed in various places, and it was certain that the sea lily was distributed inland and dozens of kilometers away from the coast. Recently, there has been a report that it has also been seen around Shibuya Station, a large city throughout the city.
