Blue-and-white Flycatcher, オオルリ in the woods

 April 5th was supposed to be my lucky day. I saw everything I wanted to see in a short time. The Stilts, the Garganeys, the Godwits, etc etc. And the price of the day: 2 Narcissus Flycatchers. But when I came home I had no images of the flycatchers! Switching to a different make of camera comes with its price as well... My fingers are so used to Nikon, they incidently deleted things on the Sony. Boooohhh! So I have no Narcissus Flycatcher to show. Although one sat right in front of me for a full minute...

Move on. The next lucky day was the 6th, when I saw a Blue-and-white Flycatcher, オオルリ.... in the woods! It had probably just arrived. That made up for my previous loss. 良かった!

On the way home I stopped to watch the Asian House Martins, イワツバメ gathering materials for their nests







And as a bonus a Crested Kingfisher, ヤマセミ stopped briefly on the wire.
