Cloudy and cool day. Although it is in the middle of migration season, there were few migrants.

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

Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (April 24, 2011)
Spring migration has started. A few Asian Stubtail were calling vocally while an Eastern Crowned Warbler was singing in the oak forest. A few Brown-headed Thrush has also arrived and was singing time to time. Although I wasn't able to focus, a male Blue-and-White Flycatcher's call was also heard.
Winter migrants have also singing in the forest. Beautiful songs of Black-faced Bunting and Dusky Thrush were heard while Siskin was calling, too.
Other interesting birds seen were a Eurasian Sparrowhawk, a male Grey Bunting and a Water Rail.

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.
