Mt. Imakuma
The blue-and-white flycatchers were singing from morning.
I went to Mt. Imakuma to observe summer birds. Many summer birds such as blue-and-white flycatchers and Japanese thrushes appeared. I also saw a grey bunting.
Meadow bunting singing on the fence
A meadow bunting was singing on the fence of the substation.
Ground beetle
A ground beetle was walking on the road next to the forest.
Blue-and-white flycatcher
Many blue-and-white flycatchers were singing in the forest below Mt. Imakuma. I also saw males fighting over females.
Eastern crowned warbler
An eastern crowned warbler was singing by the side of the forest road.
It showed itself from between the leaves.
Asian brown flycatcher
An Asian brown flycatcher was singing vigorously on a branch in the sun. I didn't see any other individuals, so it seems their numbers aren't that high.
Grey bunting
I could hear a "tchick tchick" sound from the bushes. After waiting quietly, a grey bunting appeared.
Japanese luehdorfia
I only saw Japanese luehdorfias at the entrance to the forest. I didn't see many other butterflies.
Japanese thrush
A Japanese thrush appeared on the way home. It wouldn't let me get close.
Foraging on the ground.
