More Flycatchers in the mountains

After Jaap finished hiking we left  Mt. Kuju and drove south towards Kumamoto. We stopped to check out some wildlife on the way.


Grey-streaked Flycatcher, エゾビタキ


One of many. 



Just when I got tired of all the Grey Streaks 3 others flew in. Blue-and-white Flycatchers, オオルリ, 2 males 1 female. They hid in the Japanese Angelica tree, タラノキ, but I managed a few shots of the colorful males.











In the flower department, we saw Yellow Balsam or Touch-me-not Balsam, キツリフネ
Impatiens noli-tangere



(Purple) Touch-me-not, ツリフネソウ  Impatiens textori



Chinese Hog-peanut (?) ヤブマメ   Amphicarpaea edgeworthii



Silver-washed Fritillary, ミドリヒョウモン  Argynnis paphia



Pallas' Fritillary, ウラギンスジヒョウモン  Argyronome laodice





Related to the Japanese Toad Lily, Hototogisuis is the Yamahototogisu, ヤマホトトギス   Tricyrtis macropoda
