Around Mt. Kuju

So I didn't have the right lens for this guy. But what the hell, I was happy and it wasn't even 9am yet!

Japanese Green Woodpecker, アオゲラ

Calling hours on end and flying over my head numerous times: Lesser Cuckoo, ホトトギス

One of the Buntings I wasn't supposed to be looking at, Meadow Bunting, ホオジロ

 In time for Japanese Snowbell to drop it's blossom in the stream. I had hoped for this!
エゴノキ

Still around, the mysterious plant ギンリュウソウ, Monotropastrum humile

last a purple question mark
