Last part of our 2 days at Mt. Kuju. The weather was what could be expected during the raining season: Alternating rain and sunshine, the showers not too heavy, but clouds hanging in the valleys all day long. The woods were dark. Birds could be heard more than seen, but a few came down. While Jaap hiked to the top to see the last of Miyama Kirishima, I wandered the trails of a lower altitude, catching up with him on his way down. I wanted to see the flowers, but I have only 2 legs...
Eurasian Nuthatch, ゴジュウカラ looking for insects on the ground in order to feed the kids
Got "something"
Juvenile, following mum and dad, waiting to be fed
Japanese Grosbeak, イカル on a similar mission up high
1 of 2 Chinese Hwamei, ガビチョ scurrying on the trail. A bit too far for a good shot
It's Snowbell time. Flowering trees are widespread around the Chojabaru area.
Japanese Snowbell, エゴノキ
A pretty background for the Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker family, コゲラ
Fallen down from the yummy green leaves up high, a caterpillar of Great Purple Emperor, オオムラサキ?? I nearly stepped on it 💦
Continue your search for food and stay safe!
