6/10/09 Overcast with a N2 breeze at dawn. No sign of any new arrivals until mid-morning when suddenly there were seemingly migrants everywhere including our first Daurian Redstart and 4 Rustic Buntings of the trip. Unfortunately we had to leave Heagura-jima due to the imminent arrival of Typhoon No.18 fast approaching southern Japan. Booked into Minshuku Hakuto-en in Wajima.
