There is a partial list of Japanese bird names in my 1996 'Birds of
Darwin Mangroves and Mudflats'. Hhowever the book is now out of print
and I'd need to type out the list - can you wait a few days? I also have
a full list of Top End bird names in Japanese on file (courtesy of Shogo
Matsui who worked on 'Birds of Japan' with Tanako) - I'm not sure where
it is but I'll have a look.
Regards
Denise
