When I got my fill of the Japanese Tits, I started paying attention to the other feathers. First there were the Nuthatches, ゴジュウガラ more or less in the same tree. They like to do things upside down.
Jump!
A Blue-and-white Flycatcher, オオルリ was singing non-stop right above me.
In the more bushy parts several Narcissus Flycatchers, キビタキ were heard as well.
Asian Brown Flycatcher, コサメビタキ
In the dark valley allong the river: Eurasian Wren, ミソサザイ
Very loud and restless, constantly around, battling with each other, Common Cuckooカッコウ
Oriental, Lesser, tsutsu, Hototogisu and seguro kakoh and juuichi were heard as well, but only the hoto came in sight occasionally.

Mr. and Mrs Bull-headed Shrike, モズ raising kids, getting upset with all the hikers passing by.

Eurasian Jay, カケス
Everywhere I go I see pheasants this spring. But these 2 were discovered by Jaap while driving.
Japanese Green Pheasant, キジ
I don't know what made me more happy, seeing these birds or Jaap's attempt to help me.

It was just a weekend. Actually a long weekend of 3 days, but 1 day the weather was so bad, I couldn't go out. The other 2 days I walked 7km - 10km per day. It's amazing how many things there are to see and going through my photos of 2 days is taking just as long.
small note: the Coal Tits are from the previous visit in May
