Narcissus Flycatcher

 When Golden Week approaches in this region, the male Narcissus Flycatcher can be heard singing loudly in quiet parks.

Yesterday, I heard them in two places, so I went out early this morning to take pictures of them.

Please forgive the slightly out of focus image as it was shot handheld.

P.S.

The Narcissus Flycatcher breeds from Sakhalin to the whole of the Japanese archipelago and neighboring areas, as well as parts of China, and is said to migrate to the Philippines, Borneo, and other Southeast Asian countries to overwinter during the winter months.

Golden week:

One of Japan's largest holiday periods of the year, Golden Week often sees a surge in vacation travel throughout the country. Despite the name, only 4 days of the week are officially designated as public holidays, with workers often opting to take the full week off.
