April in the mountains

From several mountains, high and low, Fukuoka and beyond a compilation. Starting up high in Oita:


Japanese Thrush, クロツグミ Singing from the very top of the highest tree





Flying between those trees: Eurasian Jay, カケス



Briefly stopping in front of me: Willow Tit, コガラ





Near the river, also singing loud: Eurasian Wren, ミソサザエ






Mid April, a bit early for flycatchers, but I could here some and caught some glimpses of the usual ones

A brief stop at a field that had just been burned: Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ







It was raining, but a flock of 30+ Buff-bellied Pipits, タヒバリ didn't seem to notice. I had never seen these birds at an elevation of about 1000m



Lower mountains around Fukuoka:

2 Asian Brown Flycatchers, コサメビタキ preparing a nest so it seems





Looking happy!



The trees are thick with foliage already. Are there no caterpilars to eat the leafs? I could here the flycatchers, but saw nothing. Just these noisy buggers, Red-billed Leiothrix, ソウシチョウ





Finally after a week I got one: Narcissus Flycather, キビタキ




Alah, out of focus  :-(
