Miscelaneous

The first butterflies of the year, as well as some birds sighted on the sunny and warm days of mid March.

Common Sandpiper, イソシギ

Common Snipe, タシギ

We might not see this big bird around town again, so went for a 2nd glance:

Swan Goose, サカツラガン

Penduline Tit, ツリスガラ

Oriental Paper Bush, ミツマタ

Found a few on the northern tip of Shikanoshima, I wonder if they migrated. Nettle-tree Butterfly, テングチョウ

Still quite small: Old World Swallowtail, キアゲハ 

Asian Comma, キタテハ
