A tiny bird even smaller than a sparrow, with round, charming eyes—the subspecies of long-tailed tit known as the shiraneaga (shimaenaga).
Found only in Hokkaido, this wild bird is beloved by birdwatchers and nicknamed the "snow fairy."
In winter it grows a fluffy, pure-white plumage and looks just like a snowball!
It mainly lives in forests and woodlands; with leaves gone in winter it becomes easier to spot, and it is often seen along the Lake Utonai lakeside.
