@MadForMaple Amazing!!

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @davidrmunson @EarthUncutTV Awesome! Remember seeing the same species when I was backpacking in Borneo and Taman Negara in Peninsular Malaysia. By the way, you have to visit Taman Negara! Elephants, tigers, leopards, tapirs, gaur, and 8 species of hornbills still present. Not too far from where you are.

@Struan_Tokyo @MadForMaple @EarthUncutTV Lesser cuckoo!

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@Struan_Tokyo @MadForMaple @EarthUncutTV Sounds like クイナ. We only usually see them as winter migrants around here in Kansai. Is this location north of Tokyo?

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@EarthUncutTV @MadForMaple @Struan_Tokyo Sounds like you found an oriental reed warbler.

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@EarthUncutTV @Struan_Tokyo @MadForMaple Nice find!!

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@Struan_Tokyo @MadForMaple @EarthUncutTV Yeah, they tend to stick to the canopy, especially the males when singing at this time of year. They’re a little easier to see at fruiting trees in autumn.

@MadForMaple @Struan_Tokyo @EarthUncutTV One of my favorite birds in Japan

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @EarthUncutTV @Struan_Tokyo Yeah! Looks like a Eurasian Goshawk.They split the Northern Goshawk into the Eurasian and American last year.

@EarthUncutTV @MadForMaple @Struan_Tokyo @TaiwanBirding I think that might be a Japanese accentor based on the tail length and the plumage

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @TaiwanBirding @EarthUncutTV @Struan_Tokyo @DamonBay Beautiful!!

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @TaiwanBirding @Struan_Tokyo @mido3bitte @BirdingBeijing Lots of raptors in your part of the world. Some that I’m familiar with from Australia and others from Japan.

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @TaiwanBirding @Struan_Tokyo @mido3bitte @BirdingBeijing Difficult to say… Black eagle? One was photographed a week ago on Penang Hill.

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @goodandbadjapan Yeah, Shiromadara. Haven’t seen one in the wild yet.

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple Awesome! Wait till you get in there: pangolins, colugo, slow loris, mouse deer, diverse herpetofauna. Not to mention the arthropods and birds.

[Damian Hackett @damian_hackett]

@MadForMaple @Struan_Tokyo @DamonBay I reckon it looks like a spider too
