Birdwatching in Fukuoka and Saga

 In Fukuoka, we were able to spot a male Copper Pheasant, which was undoubtedly the highlight of the tour. Although the mountain is at a low altitude, the climb was steep, so we ascended slowly, allowing the participants to take occasional breaks, and after about an hour, we spotted the male emerging from the side of the trail. In Saga, we were able to observe waterbirds, including the endangered Saunder’s Gull.
