GW 3

Another location again, near Mt Aso. While walking through the woods I heard woodpeckers calling throughout the day. Also Narcissus Flycatchers. Just before I left, Japanese Paradise Flycatchers were heard in the tallest cedar trees. It was a magical day

Singing out loud - ofcourse

Playing hide and seek with each other, in the big trees





At a dark corner at the end of the day:  Eurasian Jay, カケス







Flowers were amazing. Several orchids were in bloom. The most spectacular this one below:

Silver Orchid, ギンラン - Not as big as its Golden brother, but very delicate



Tairin Aoi, タイリンアオイ



Kayalan Orchid, カヤラン







Soft Wind Flower, ニリンソウ
