There are lots of little black droppings on the ground, meaning the critters, hairy caterpillars, who dropped them are in the foliage, high up in the trees where I can hardly see them, but where birds can see them very well and who loves them more the the members of the cuckoo family?
It took a while though. They were flying around, but would not rest on a place where I could see them. However I did get a little lucky at one stage...
Grey-streaked Flycatcher, エゾビタキ
Blue-and-white Flycatcher, オオルリ male
Dark-sided Flycatcher, サメビタキ
When they don't sing it's too hard to tell. Some Warbler, ?ムシクイ?
Thx to the expert: Arctic Warbler, Phylloscopus borealis: コムシクイ
No crown
Japanese White-eye, メジロ
3 raptors were circling overhead. Eurasian Sparrowhawks, ハイタカ Grey-faced Buzzard, サシバ
Was still warm when I found him... Oriental Cuckoo, ツツドリ
I really have to take my time and pay more attention. It's a learning curve!
