Birdwatching in Koshiki (8-9 May 2023)

 Another island chain, located in western Kagoshima.  The island chain is famous among the Japanese birders with varieties of migratory birds.  Because of strong winds, birds kept hiding in the bush.  Although I saw Eastern Yellow Wagtail and Yellow-browed Bunting, the number and varieties were less than my prediction.

The island holds good population of Green Pheasant.  So I was happy with photographing the pheasant well.
