Japanese Bush Warbler and Brown Shrike

Japanese Bush Warblers are becoming noticeably more active. Along the coastal woodland, several seem to be gathering as if preparing for migration. I'm also hearing their clumsy subsong.

It would often come down into the undergrowth.

Isabelline Shrike

An Isabelline Shrike that caught a bee. First-winter. It has something of a Brown or Red-tailed Shrike feel to it, but that's a hard call to make in first-winter plumage.
