Madarajima, Saga 馬渡島

We walked 15km around the island, it was rather a long way. There were few birds, but here's the record:

East Siberian White Wagtail, タイワンハクセキレイ 3 birds 











Woodpigeon?, カラスバト Many birds flying, just a few detected when perched. They sure like to hide!







Yellow-browed Bunting, キマユホオジロ



Black-faced Bunting subspec. spodocephala, シベリアアオジ  





A small flock of females around the harbor







When we got back to our starting point we could see the east Siberian White Wagtails, タイワンハクセキレイ again.







And 2 Cattle Egrets, アマサギ





Along the way we saw the dark skimms of a Siberian Thrush, マミジロ, but I didn't get a picture.
There were flowering wild Wisteria, 藤の花...



... and very few insects, as if the island was a few weeks behind in the spring time cycle
