Minami Asakawa Town

Migratory birds have arrived, and the number of birds has decreased.

I observed the forest road in Minami Asakawa Town. The winter birds have left, and there were fewer birds than before. I also found some signs of spring, such as Anemone dichotoma and frog eggs.

Long-tailed Tit

I spotted a Long-tailed Tit along the forest road by the stream. It was perched on a side branch, eating small insects.

Snout Butterfly

There were still few butterflies, and they weren't flying much. I saw a Snout Butterfly several times, as it seemed to be one of the first to become active.
