Bird Watching in Japan & Asia

Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (June 12, 2011)

Due to high temperature and humidity, not many birds were seen. Only Lesser Cuckoo was vocally calling. Japanese Bush Warbler seems to be breeding in bamboo bush while juvenile Great Tits were seen well, too.

I enjoyed photographing butterflies rather than birds. Interestingly, many people photograph butterflies like me in the park.

Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (June 5, 2011)

As wet season has been started, it was humid and cloudy today. Not many birds were seen, though a female Narcissus Flycatcher and a few Asian Stubtails were still there. Great Tit has already have his/her new family members while Hwamei was very vocally calling.

I mostly enjoyed photographing insects as below.
