From May 20 to 23 I was busy taking a birder from the United Kingdom to spots around Nagasaki and Saga Prefectures.
The birding was a little quiet, but we managed to observe 88 species.
Highlights included Copper Pheasant, Japanese Green Pheasant, Narcissus Flycatcher, Japanese Paradise Flycatcher, Blue-and-White Flycatcher, Ijima’s Leaf Warbler, Japanese Bush Warbler, Japanese Thrush, Nordmann’s Greenshank, Black-faced Spoonbill, Eurasian Spoonbill, Saunder’s Gull, Mongolian Plover and Japanese Sparrowhawk.
