Birdwatching in Izumi, Kyushu (February 24-25, 2026)

Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but at Izumi we were able to spot four species of crane, as well as a Eurasian and Black-faced Spoonbill, amongst others.

Birding in Fukuoka, Kagoshima and Miyazaki (January 29 - February 2, 2026 )

During our tour of Kyushu, we were able to spot the Copper Pheasant in Fukuoka Prefecture, and the Siberian Crane, White-naped Crane, Hooded Crane, Sandhill Crane and Demoiselle Crane in Izumi. We also observed an unexpected flock of Red-billed Starlings on reclaimed land, and were able to see a Chinese Penduline Tit at close quarters. In Miyazaki, I spotted a rare Greylag Goose and was also able to charter a boat to observe the Japanese Murrelet.
