Flycatchers everywhere. The mountains were dark in the morning, I could barely take photos. By 9am that was better, but most birds had disappeared...

First thing: Siberian Blue Flycatchers everywhere. The mountains were dark in the morning, I could barely take photos. By 9am that was better, but most birds had disappeared...

First bird of the day: male Siberian Blue Robin, コルリ 

Next Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ who brought his family for a bath

Suddenly a male tail-less Green Pheasant, キジ flew up from the ground and hopped on the tree.
