		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon I visited Azamidani again to see if any interesting migrants were passing through. No special birds there, but the usual summer breeders and residents were very active. Also in the pond was a pair of Western Japanese Common Toad which were busy mating and generally making a nuisance of themselves, causing the birds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I discovered bat droppings outside the front door of my apartment, which was surprising because, although there are bats hunting the street lights near my place, I hadn&#8217;t seen any signs of either a daytime or nighttime roost. So last night I waited until after the first few twilight hours for the culprit to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon I visited Kabashima yet again. To my surprise, there were several pairs of Yellow-browed Bunting, along with a few pairs of Tristram&#8217;s Bunting and even a male Yellow-breasted Bunting (an increasingly rare bird for Japan). Another rarity for Japan was a female Red-breasted Flycatcher, while in the undergrowth Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually stay away from popular birding spots on weekends, but this morning was fine although cloudy after pretty nasty weather the day before, so I thought it would be interesting to see if any vagrants or rarities had been blown across to the Japanese mainland. Unfortunately, no rarities&#8230;.. but there was a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found this beautiful adult breeding Oriental Pratincole walking around in a car park next to a Chinese noodle restaurant at Nomozaki Peninsula. It was very approachable, so I drove very slowly at a tangent until I was very close, then took some shots from the driver&#8217;s side window.]]></description>

This time there was a lot more activity &#8211; the summer breeders have started to arrive!

		<description><![CDATA[I heard reports of Garganey at Karako, Isahaya, so this morning I went to see them. Upon arriving I could spot one pair, but they soon disappeared into reeds and despite my waiting for an hour they didn&#8217;t reappear. Nevertheless, it was nice to finally see them, as this had been one species that had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the beginning of this week I guided a couple from the USA, Dan &#38; Decie, around birding spots in Nagasaki, Kumamoto and Saga prefectures. At the moment there is a bit of a lull in birding, as most of the wintering visitors have already left, while summer breeders have yet to arrive. Despite this, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I went on a trip to three places in Kumamoto prefecture. Firstly I went to Hitoyoshi to look for Crested Kingfisher, then I went to Yatsushiro for Palla&#8217;s Gull and Saunder&#8217;s Gull, and finally I stopped at Hikawa estuary for Black-faced Spoonbill. I could find all species apart from Palla&#8217;s Gull, which may have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, spring migration is well and truly underway in my area. Also, many winter visitors have left Kyushu already &#8211; quite a bit earlier than usual. Yesterday I visited Kabashima, Kawahara-ooike and Isahaya. I just missed some migrants at Kabashima &#8211; Red-billed Starling were seen for a week up until Tuesday, but unfortunately had moved [...]]]></description>
