Birdwatching & Insect watching in Maioka-Koen (29 April, 2012)

Warm and fine day.  Two Narcissus Flycatchers were heard but unable to photograph.  Three Grey Buntings were seen in dense bush while many Brown-headed Thrushes were singing.

A cool and windy day.  Although a Narcissus Flycatcher was singing, nothing else much was seen.

Birdwatching in Yokohama Shizen Kansatsu no Mori (April 17, 2011)

Some early summer migrants, such as Eastern Crowned Warbler and Asian Stubtail, have arrived, though I didn't have any chance to photograph them.  I rather enjoyed photographing sakura and walking in the spring forest.
