サンコウチョウ孵化 / Japanese Paradise Flycatcher hatching
Japanese Paradise Flycatcher had hatched successfully. The parents are diligently carrying insects for food.

The female also returned to feed. Unfortunately, I could not find a good position and get rid of branches in the foreground, in addition to the backlighting issue.

The shot where the most chicks were showing their faces. There are at least four in the small nest.

After feeding, the male took a long rest perched on a nearby branch, perhaps wanting to catch his breath.
I hope he does his best not to be spotted by crows.
