| Blue-and-white Flycatcher |
Went to Toyanogata looking for birds yesterday afternoon. The first time in a month. I wasn't really expecting to see much as I had a call from a friend on Wednesday night who goes out a lot and he reported that things had been very quiet: "No Blue-and-white Flycatchers in Niigata this year". - Hence, I was surprised to see one within seconds of my arrival. Got just a couple of shots before he disappeared. Also got a glimpse of a Narcissus Flycatcher but no photos.

So many beautiful shots! I love the colors in the shots of the fly catcher, and the kite is wonderful...especially the pose in that second shot.
Nice capture on kite!
Still haven't been out looking for those colourful flycatchers, but I'm sure there must be plenty of them by now. It's already summer down here!
