Birdwatching in Kiryu, Gunma

 At the invitation of a friend, I went to the mountains of Gunma Prefecture to look for blue-and-white flycatchers. At the forest park we visited, several blue-and-white flycatchers had arrived in early May, and their calls could be heard everywhere. Perhaps because they had just arrived, the males had not yet established their territories, and we were able to see some of them at close range.
