Pat,
Attached our trip report from last year May and a few book suggestions. There 
are also two great site guides - one by Mark Brazil, one by someone else 
(forgot). I think, both are out of print but you may find them in used book 
sales.
Field 
Guide to the Birds 
of East Asia by Mark Brazil. 2009. Filling a major gap in the birding 
literature, this major work is the first field guide covering eastern Asia: 
eastern Russia, 
eastern China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, with 528 
pages, and the 985 species texts and distribution maps facing the excellent 236 
colour plates. Softback £29.99. 
A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Japan and 
North-East Asia by Tadao Shimba. 2007. A comprehensive guide, with 504 pages 
and 
over 1,500 colour photographs. Softback 
£24.99.
Cheers,
Nikolas

Hi all
Off to Kyoto next week and should have a day to two to spare for birding. As I 
recall Japanese field guides are non-existent in English. Can anyone advise - 
also, any birding spots in the vicinity.
Best
Pat
