Japan 29Jun08

From Yamane

I visited my favourite birding place also today. I could see the Japanese Paradise Flycatcher pair that I saw at the last time. But it's rainy today. :-( Just now it's a rainy season in Japan. I report to you about the birds that I found today.

Only female is still incubating their eggs now. The male never do it still now. Today I could see the male only 2 times. The male is wandering near the nest. This lazy male is staying nearby. Umm... I could never take photos of the male. :-( Next weekend I'll try to do it.
