A male of Ashy Minivet Pericrocotus divaricatus divaricatus was observed to build a nest in Tokoro, Kitami, Hokkaido, northern Japan on 6 and 7 July 2013. This is the first nest-building record of this species in Hokkaido where it does not regularly breed. Interestingly, however, this male carried nest materials into the nest of a pair of Asian Brown Flycatchers Muscicapa dauurica. The Asian Brown Flycatcher pair seemed to eventually desert the nest due to the repeated nest material transportation of this Ashy Minivet.
