Mt Kuju, part 2

 The following day I did a quick run around the same trail before we returned to the real world again. 


A Japanese Thrush, クロツグミ maybe the same bird as yesterday, was singing its beautiful song again




Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ - Not yesterday's



A female nearby


Aahh, a Jay again. They are too busy to pay attention to hikers and birders now.

Eurasian Jay, カケス



The deer were at the same location - asleep when I found them. They slowly got up. Lazy buggers
Japanese Shika deer, シカ




Not so lazy, too fast for me, a wild Rabbit, ノウサギ



The small Tits, that like the dark trees behind the marshes are easy to follow
Coal Tit, ヒガラ



Some other small flowers, a kind of Chickweed, I think.  Common Chickweed, コハコベ?


Jumping up from the wet soil, Silver Dragons, ギンリョウソウ! Not an army yet, but a start


Blobs of bright orange fungi. What are they called? Witch's Butter, コガネニカワタケ?


And here is that rare butterfly again. Just one. Mountain Skipper, ミヤマセセリ
