Not much in the big park today; the above woodpecker, a few Dusky and Brown-headed Thrushes passing through, lots of Chestnut-cheeked Starlings.

The on-tap parade of photogenic local birds seems to have dried up. Onuma had both swans and Greater White-fronted Geese yesterday but was otherwise a bit quiet.
No crossbills for several days now. Just a few Dusky Thrush around and the resident woodpeckers…
Spring migration is just around the corner at least.
We had a night on a campsite last night…
After being serenaded by Jungle Nightjars all night (including a brief glimpse in the twilight) we were up at sunrise and there were lots of birds: a flyover White-tailed Eagle and Osprey, Japanese Green Pigeon, Brown Dipper, Grey Wagtail, several species of thrush…
…and several species of woodpecker…
Breeding season in full swing as you can see.
