At the first shrine I could not find the Aobazuku, Northern Boobook or Brown Hawk Owl during my initial visit. It was raining solidly and I had to give up. The 2nd time was right. It was there at the usual place. Had it moved to take shelter on that rainy day?
At the R. Shrine
The Camphor tree, クスノキ is huge, it takes a while to locate a small owl
At the Shi shrine, I saw another male watching the nest where his wife sits to keep their eggs warm.
The caterpillars of Silk Moths love the trees here. This time of the year many are crawling around, looking for a place to wrap themselves up and spin their cocoon. クスサン 毛虫
The resident Geckos, ニホンヤモリ are standing guard
At the Sa Shrine
Last year I looked for orchids and found the Boobook. This year I looked for the bird, and found the flowers. 😀
