Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (June 12, 2011)

Due to high temperature and humidity, not many birds were seen.  Only Lesser Cuckoo was vocally calling.  Japanese Bush Warbler seems to be breeding in bamboo bush while juvenile Great Tits were seen well, too.

I enjoyed photographing butterflies rather than birds.  Interestingly, many people photograph butterflies like me in the park.
